Oh, London! I'm in love! That city is so thrilling and inspiring I really would love to move there immediately. And I'm obsessed with the British accent and the open minded and chatty manner of the people there, it's just so adorable. It's a pitty I've just been there for a long weekend. But I saw, ate and discovered as much as I could during my short stay there.
THINGS TO DO IN LONDON DURING A WEEKEND TRIP
I was trying to avoid places that are too touristic to get the feeling I'd be a part of the million-strong metropolis instead of just being a visitor. I think it worked out quite well and I've been to authentic and great places. Here they are – my eight highlight tips for a short weekend trip to London town!

HOW TO SURVIVE IN LONDON - HACKS:
- You should change your money at the airport or in the post office. Do'ntgo in the small markets – they might charge a fee. It pays to compare!
- In England they have different power outlets – buy an adapter before you fly. You forgot to do so? No worries! There are loads of possibilities to buy one in London.
- I recommend you to get an Oyster card for public transport. This is way easier than to buy a ticket everytime you want to use the subway or bus.
- The cheapest way to leave from airport is to use public transport. It takes more time than a taxi but it's definitely a saving.
