Prince William back with Kate Middleton

Sun, 24 Jun 2007 12:39:02 +0000

If this news was good enough for CNN to place on its front page then, it’s good enough for Europestring.

What has this have to do with budget travel in Europe? The Royal Family, of course. Unfortunately, getting an audience with the Pope is a lot easier than seeing the Royal Family in the flesh. Well, at least, you can get to watch the Changing of the Guard at one of the royal residences, the Buckingham Palace for FREE.

Just make sure you get there at 11:30am. It happens daily from April until the end of July and every other day of the rest of the year.

And while you are there, you might as well visit all the other FREE attractions in London: The British Museum, the National Gallery, National Portrait Gallery, Tate Modern, Natural History Museum and Science Museum.
