Tower of London

Nos parecio interesante ver como se fueron sucediendo los tronos, los casamientos , la asuncion de los reyes y ver la alhajas, las armaduras, la fortaleza, el reloj del campanario y la torre, magnifica

Es un sitio muy curioso, una fortaleza en medio de londres, vale la pena pasearse para ver los famosos Beefeaters y cuervos, y visitar la torre blanca y las joyas de la corona, ambas zonas fantasticas.

Aunque yo hice cola para comprar las entradas; CREO que se pueden comprar en el metro, para agilizar tramites.

Un sitio muy recomendado, lo ideal es ir desde Westmister en barco para hacerse de paso un tour por el tamesis

This attraction cost about 17 pounds for an adult. I bought an additional audio guide for only 4 pounds. I found the audio guides to be a bit slow moving for me. I would also rather they not include "first-hand" accounts.

The tower fort is quite impressive even entering the first gate. I caught up with a Yeoman Warder tour when I first entered. It was good but did not last too long. I was told these tours usually last 60 minutes. I'm not sure if it was because of the season or something else. He really only talked about the moat, traitors gate (water lane/water gate), white tower, tower green and the Chapel Royal. It was a good informative and funny tour but shorter than I expected. That was when I decided to purchase the audio guide.

I ran out of time at the Tower. You really need 2-3 hours to discover it all.

The crowing jewel of this location was, well, the crown jewels. Thankfully, because it was January there were fewer tourists. I was able to not wait in line at all to see them. They have it set up like a disney ride. The queue is long and winding (or could be if crowded) but there are plaques for each royal in one room and 3 seperate rooms with videos that pertain to the jewels. One is Queen Elizabeth II's procession to become the queen. Another describes the jewels that are in the collection, including the names and stories of some of the famous jewels. After that, it is into the vault to see them. They truly are amazing. My favorite was the gold punch bowl. It was huge.

Definitely a must see when you visit London!
