Review:
The Tower of London is one of London's most famous internationally-recognized landmarks, located along the northern banks of the River Thames within the city's downtown district. The tower, which is officially known as Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress of the Tower of London, has played a significant role in British history since its founding in 1066 and serves as one of the United Kingdom's most famous tourist attractions today, designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Tower visitors can take guided or audio tours and see famed sights such as the 23,578-gemstone collection of the Crown Jewels, on display to the public since 1669. Other attractions include daily gun salutes, historic reenactments, and the traditional Ceremony of the Keys, held every night for 700 years at the Tower. Four onsite casual and fine dining options make the Tower a great choice for all-inclusive date itineraries.
