Which sightseeing pass suits whom?

Four typical London traveller types - and which sightseeing pass suits them best.

First-time visitors with 3 days

Recommendation: London Pass® 3 days for £179

Tower of London, London Eye, Westminster Abbey, hop-on bus and a Thames boat trip - you can do the classics in three days. With the 3-day pass, you typically save 30 to 40 per cent compared to individual tickets.

3 days London in detail →

Families with children

Recommendation: Explorer Pass or Merlin Combi Ticket

Children aged 5 and over pay the reduced children's price, under 5s are free. SEA LIFE, Madame Tussauds and Shrek's Adventure are included in the Merlin Combi Ticket, while the Explorer Pass with 4 or 5 attractions is suitable for the major highlights.

London with children →

Short weekend trip (2 days)

Recommendation: Explorer Pass with 4 attractions for £109

You can see four to five top attractions in two days, but no more. The Explorer Pass with a fixed selection is more flexible than an all-inclusive day pass - you choose exactly the highlights you really want to see.

London Pass® vs. Explorer Pass →

Active travellers with 5 or more days

Recommendation: London Pass® 5-7 days

If you visit three or more attractions per day, you get the most out of the London Pass®. With the 5-day pass, the daily price is around £42 - that's less than the price of a single hop-on hop-off day ticket.
