Travel tips from CHO

The national collections cost nothing

Fifteen national museums and galleries have charged nothing for their permanent collections since 2001 — among them the National Gallery and the Natural History Museum. Temporary exhibitions are ticketed separately, and the busiest houses now ask you to reserve a free timed slot rather than queue, so book before you set off.

In September, the doors that are usually shut open

For one long weekend every September, some fifty European countries run the European Heritage Days together: palaces, workshops, archives and private houses that are closed the rest of the year let visitors in, almost always for nothing. The United Kingdom sets its own dates, and they are published a few weeks ahead.

Arrive already connected

Maps, opening hours and tickets all need data, and roaming outside your own network still costs more than the ticket. A travel eSIM for the United Kingdom installs on your phone before you leave home and works the moment you land — no queue at the airport, no physical card to swap.
