5 Quick tips on sightseeing and entertainment in the city

London was elected in 2016, the best city in the world to live in. And of course everything has a price and living here is not cheap. We pay for the quality one has, a city with a thousand options of rides and attractions, one of the best transports in the world and a land of opportunities. And if you compare food to supermarkets or restaurants, for example, it's much cheaper than in many other European capitals or around the world, do you?

In today's article, we present 5 GOOD TIPS of discounts and "combos" for ticket in tourism and entertainment.

Tip 1 - Look for free activities on websites or, if you prefer, blogs, social media and YouTube channels of Brazilians.

London is packed with activities for all tastes and pockets and of course, it has many free activities like most museums, for example. Just to name a few of them - Tate Modern, National Gallery, Natural History Museum, Science Museum, British Museum and Victoria and Albert. Look at sites like Time Out, To in London, London in the Tin, among others. In addition, Rafa do Guri in London gives several tips on the channel. London is full of free events for you to attend.

Tip 2 - Look for 2 × 1 packages or combinations of tickets

Planning to come to London and visit the London Eye? The London Eye ticket is usually sold separately or in combo packages with other tickets such as the Shrek Adventure, the Sea Life aquarium and the London Dungeon, or the wax museum, Madame Tussauds Museum, which are cheaper. Anticipate yourself and do not leave to buy in the place because surely you should stay in queues and it will cost more. Visit the website of the London Eye or on several pages that sell tickets for attractions even cheaper like 2for1 Offers, The London Tool Kit and Top tip London. Or 365 tickets, Discount London and Smartsave.

Tip 3 - Tickets for West End Musicals and Theater and Music Shows

There are several ticket booths in the vicinity of a ticket counter in Leicester Square called TKTS. There, tickets of various pieces are sold at great discount. In addition, there are several stalls between the Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square stations but I still prefer the online ticket purchasing sites, some of them - Amazon Local, Last Minute, Theater Monkey, Love Theater and Official Theater.

Tip 4 - Mobile apps and collective purchase sites

There are several cell phone applications where discounts are instantly found as Last Minute, Wowcher and Groupon, especially for weekend programs (including with friends) in different areas (massage, helicopter rides, paintball, courses). Amazon Local, Living Social are also interesting.

Tip 5 - For tourists - the tours with the tour buses of the city

There are people who prefer to visit the city and have a general notion of it walking with the tourist buses, especially for those who have little time in the city. In hotels and hostels, you can find some booklets that offer discounts. How about a bus ride? - The Original Tour, Big Bus and Hop On Hop Off.

There are thousands of other options to save on the city, from coupons in newspapers, to free courses, and discount vouchers (and stamps) in cafes throughout the city. Do your planning and we are sure you can save money on your tours and activities here. Leave your comment and suggestion below.
