The number of visitors in Galleries and Museums in London this summer has increased by 11% compared to last year’s figures. The main reasons of this rise is the bad weather and the fact that with the crisis tourists tend to visit places free of charge, such as most museums and galleries in London.

This proves that investing in culture boosts the economy by encouraging tourism, as eight out of the top 10 tourist attractions in London are museums and galleries.

Our reccomendations from Hotelopia if you are planning to visit London are the Natural History Museum, specially the human body section, a very interactive exhibition for both adults and children and the British Musem, where you can find pieces of egipcian and roman art as well as a greek temple that was moved piece by piece from Greece into the Museums.
