A visit to the Royal Greenwich Observatory in London promises to be memorable. The sight is located on the territory of one of the most amazing and unusual viewing areas of the British capital. The Observatory is located high on a hill, so its observation deck offers a wonderful view of several areas of London. It overlooks the nearby Greenwich Park, north-west of London, and one of the most popular attractions of the city - National Maritime Museum.
The deck of Greenwich Royal Observatory is unlike the others, which can be visited in major cities around the world. In fact, it is a vast park decorated with numerous ornamental plants blooming during the warm season. Entrance to the park is absolutely free. Visitors can leisurely walk on it all day, enjoy the scenery, and make memorable photos.
In warmer months, a lovely recreation area is set in the garden. It would be the perfect place for hanging out for all family members. Those who want to diversify the walk in the park with amazing entertainment, will have an opportunity to visit the museum of the astronomical and navigational tools that represents a number of unique historical artifacts. A great planetarium, which will also be interesting for adults and children, is set in the observatory.
