As obvious as it is, there's no way we couldn't include the National Gallery in our guide. Year after year it ranks among the world's most-visited museums, and there are many reasons to stop by. Your knowledge of painting can't be complete without a firm grasp of the gallery's impressive collection.
Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Titian, Botticelli, Vermeer, Rubens, Gainsborough – you get the idea. Frequent thematic exhibitions, workshops, family events, and more only add to the appeal. The gallery is strictly old-school, but that's why art lovers come here.
