�London
There are numerous museums and attractions to see whilst in London . We recommend a walk on the London Millennium Footbridge . Initially nicknamed the “ Wobbly Bridge ” by Londoners , Millennium Bridge was initially opened in June 2000 . It was closed later on opening day , as pedestrians noted an unexpected swaying motion . After limited access for two days , it was closed for two years to eliminate the motion . Millennium Bridge was reopened in 2002 . It stretches across the Thames in the heart of the city and is considered as one of London ’ s top attractions .

Why not go for a luxurious ride on The Royal Livingstone Express ? Enjoy fine dining on this unique all-inclusive luxury rail rooted in the nostalgia of a bygone era , elegance and romance .

Prince Mikhail Cantacuzino founded the Sinaia Monastery in the late 17 th Century after his pilgrimage to Mount Sinai . Designed to serve as a monastery , it was also a fortified stronghold , and home to several monks . If you are a history buff and enjoy exploring ancient architecture , this monastery is perfect . Take the rails and hop off at Sinaia Railway Station located just below the monastery .
