British Museum

The British Museum is impressive on its own, but the 90-minute Highlights Tour truly made the visit exceptional. It was well-paced, informative, and a great way to experience the museum without feeling overwhelmed. Our guide was fantastic! She was knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the collection. She brought each exhibit to life with stories, context, and surprising details you’d never pick up just walking through on your own. The museum covers an incredible range of places and time periods - from ancient Egypt, and Greece to medieval Europe, Asia, the Americas, and beyond. It’s amazing to see so many iconic pieces from such a wide span of human history under one roof. Entry is free, though the tour did require a paid ticket. The building itself is beautiful, the layout is manageable with a plan, and it’s easy to reach via public transport. It does get busy, but the guided tour helped make the experience feel more focused and personal. All in all, a fantastic visit. I’d highly recommend booking the tour, as it added so much to the experience!

A fascinating and powerful place — truly one of the most impressive museums in the world. The building itself is stunning, and the collection is massive and full of history from all over the globe. Entry is free, and you can easily spend hours walking through the exhibits. It’s well organised, peaceful, and perfect for people who love learning and culture. I always leave feeling inspired. Definitely a must-visit if you’re in London.

Admission is free; but be sure to book a place in advance online. The British Museum ranks among the best in the world. There are lots of little tours throughout the week that you can take advantage of. It’s an absolute must-see for a visit to London. Unlike any other collection on earth.

It's off the list! Rosetta stone is very cool to see. The battling for postion to take a photo of it is worth watching. People smearing their greasy, sweaty face and hands on the glass protecting it makes it impossible to get a good photo. There was actually a shoving match when I was standing there. Chinese tourists are SO considerate. 😄 Also, people will sit in front of it for several minutes( like several, not just a couple), as if they were transcribing it themselves. Get a picture offline and post it as your own. It is easier for everyone. The museum is in all fun, but not very clean. The light was bad on some exhibits, and they should use an air conditioner or some type of system instead of plug-in fans for their staff at certain places within the property. I've been there, done that! Pick an off-season time to go. Maybe you'll have a better experience and the protective glass will be cleaner.

Very huge museum. Interesting fact that it was the first museum in the world open for people for free. And it is still free to access these days, you just have to book your visit in advance. I would recommend buying an audit guide, and paying 6 pounds. And if you do so I strongly recommend sending tours to your phone to be able to use offline mode, because the connection inside the museum is quite poor sometimes. Spent around 4 hours.
