It’s a great way to see London, but do you really want to wait for 2.5 hours?
Probably, or the queue wouldn’t be 2.5 hours long.
Sistine Chapel and Vatican Museums = 2 hours
The most famous Chapel in the world and a museum chronicling the history and accomplishments of mankind over the last 2000 years, not really surprising there is a long line.
The Colosseum = 2 hours
Considered one of Romes best preserved monuments in Rome, the Colosseum is besieged by tourists on the regular.
Catacombs = 2 hours (up to 3-4 hours during summer)
The Catacombs in Paris are a true must see attraction.
A genuine labyrinth in the heart of underground Paris, filled with the remains of approximately six million Parisians.
Just make sure you’re prepared for the extra two hour wait in the summer.
Eiffel Tower = 2 hours
Two Parisian landmarks make the top five of the world’s longest queue.
Ask a Parisian and they’ll surely tell you they hate it, but it is by far France’s most iconic landmark.
