How to make the most of your travel budget?
According to the Viajes por Viajeros website, if you want to get the most out of your trip to London, you should keep two important things in mind: travel during the low season and book in advance.
- Travel at the time that best suits you and according to your goals
But remember that due to the same weather conditions, many attractions may close earlier because there are fewer hours of light.
If you decide to travel during the autumn months, from September to November, you can find lower prices and the number of tourists decreases thanks to the end of the summer holidays. You will find a very pleasant and very cool climate.
Finally, another alternative to save money in London is to travel around mid-July. Once the Wimbledon tennis tournament is over, there are lower fares and fewer crowds in the city.
- Save money by using public transport
On the other hand, you can save a few pesos by using public transport cards to get around London.
If you are staying for several days, it is best to use your contactless card, which works in the same way as the Oyster card. As you use it during the same day to travel on the tube, the third payment on the same day freezes the fare and you can continue travelling as much as you like without paying more.
It works the same on buses, but the maximum fare is lower.
