  • The writer recommends London as a short getaway from Latvia, describing a flight of less than three hours and sunny weather during the visit.
  • On the first day, the writer visited Tower Bridge and its museum, along with other major London landmarks planned through a Samsung Galaxy Fold8 Ultra.
  • The trip followed an invitation to Samsung Galaxy Unpacked, where the writer tested new Samsung devices.

Sometimes a weekend in Latvia is not enough. The answer, according to the writer, is London, less than three hours away by plane and far from the permanently gloomy city some visitors imagine.

During the visit, the writer says there was not a drop of rain. The trip came through the Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event, where the writer explored and tested the Galaxy Fold8 Ultra, Galaxy Fold8 and Galaxy Flip8.

The first day focused on Londonโ€™s essential tourist sights: Big Ben, the London Eye and Buckingham Palace. The writer prefers seeing the main attractions early and leaving the rest of the trip for relaxation. To organize the route, the Galaxy Fold8 Ultra generated a day plan after the writer entered the places to visit.

The first stop was Tower Bridge, located about 10 minutes from the hotel. It was the writerโ€™s second visit, but this time included the museum in the upper section of the bridge. Despite expecting a long wait, the writer entered almost immediately and received a student discount on the ticket.

The museum offered a history of the bridge and revealed a new detail for the writer: the company that built Tower Bridgeโ€™s steel structure later created the huge structure used in the construction of the Titanic.
