Beautiful Trafalgar Square: First visit unforgettable
As I stood in the heart of London, I found myself in awe of the majestic Trafalgar Square, a cultural hotspot that exuded history, art, and vibrant energy. With so much to see and do, it was an irresistible destination for a tourist like me.
I found myself exact same when first time I was in Trafalgar Square, after my first visit I went to this beautiful square many times but first experience is the best one I guess.
After getting off at Piccadilly Circus I took a walk down towards Buckingham Palace and took my left exit near Guard Crimean War Memorial at St. James street. I found it was right decision to get off at Piccadilly instead of Trafalgar Square as I found many attractions which could be missed.
My first stop was Nelson's Column, a towering monument that commemorates Admiral Lord Nelson's heroic victory at the Battle of Trafalgar. The grandeur of the column, flanked by majestic bronze lion statues, left me mesmerized. I couldn't resist taking a selfie with these iconic symbols of the square, capturing a moment that would forever remind me of my visit to this historic landmark.
Adjacent to the column, I found the renowned National Gallery, a haven for art enthusiasts. With its extensive collection of European masterpieces by legendary artists like Van Gogh, da Vinci, and Turner, it was a treasure trove of artistic wonders. I was captivated by the exquisite artwork on display, and I marveled at the rich history and cultural significance of this world-class gallery.
The square was bustling with activity, and I was fortunate to catch an impromptu street performance by a talented musician. The lively ambiance was contagious, and I found myself tapping my feet to the rhythm of the music. It was a reminder that Trafalgar Square is not just a historical site, but a vibrant cultural hub that comes alive with events and performances throughout the year.
Amidst the hustle and bustle, I found moments of tranquility by the fountains in Trafalgar Square. The rhythmic flow of water and the serene atmosphere provided a perfect spot to relax and unwind. I also noticed the Fourth Plinth, which displayed a contemporary art installation, adding a modern touch to this historic square. It was a unique blend of the past and the present, showcasing the evolving nature of London's cultural scene.
As I explored further, I couldn't resist the enticing aromas wafting from the nearby cafes and food vendors. From traditional British fare like fish and chips to international cuisine, there was something for every palate. I indulged in a delicious meal while taking in the views of the square, immersing myself in the culinary delights of this vibrant location.
Before I knew it, my visit to Trafalgar Square had come to an end. As I bid farewell to this iconic landmark, I reflected on the unforgettable experience I had. From the historical landmarks and world-class art to the lively events and culinary delights, Trafalgar Square had left an indelible mark on my London adventure. It was a tourist-friendly destination that had something for everyone, and I left with memories that I would treasure for a lifetime. This is the reason I paid visit this place many times afterwards.
I hope you've enjoyed my first visit to the beautiful & historical Trafalgar Square. Many Thanks.

This square is gigantic.
I especially liked the fountains with the sculptures, it looks very well maintained and preserved. Maybe in the future you can share with us about the National Gallery or do they prohibit it?

I found no notice as far as I recall but, they asked not to make any obstruction for other visitors also it is common not to take other visitors pictures without permission! I might have few I'll have a look. Thanks
