London 2019: 4 Days of Christmas Vibes, Food Discoveries and Endless Fun!

Preparing my trip to London, I started by following the local Instagram accounts showing photos of the Christmas decorations around the city. I knew that it would be a trip of colors and beautiful photos. Little I knew that it would be one of my favorite trips ever! I was shocked by the city’s Christmas vibes the minute I arrived at the capital, spending five memorable days I will never forget. Christmas in London is an experience everyone should try at least once in their lifetime.

I had a clear program: I wanted to visit all the streets, all markets, take photos of all the decor, eat as many iconic foods as I could... let’s do it! From Sunday morning to Wednesday night, four days only to do it all!

How did I do it: I’ll walk the streets, stop at iconic and famous restaurants. Visit all famous street food and shopping markets. Take the open tour bus for touristic stops and make sure to walk at least 15 kilometers a day in search of unique experiences. It won’t be raining this week and I’m equipped to fight the cold.
