London is kind to the young travelers wallets!

When it comes to traveling people must learn to really budget their expenses. From flights, room and board, and food alone our wallets start to feel significantly lighter. When traveling in Europe people have to pick and choose places they want to visit, and sites they want to see. In Paris, museum passes can cost up to 97 Euro for a 2 day pass. In Spain, the Barcelona card costs up to 27 Euro and includes entry to a few museums and parks. Luckily for all of you interested in living in London this summer, this will not be a problem for you! London boasts over 15 of the world's best museums FREE OF COST to visitors. Visit the British Museum, currently home of the Egyptian Book of the Dead, or the Tate Modern, which has 4 art galleries housing the best art from all over the world. Other attractions free for visitors are The Changing of the Guard and The Ceremony of the Keys. For a full list of all the attractions and museums that are free for visitors in London check out this website:
