Tourism and sport mingle at London Olympics
The staff of the Daily Infographic website has created an interesting map of the English capital that can be very useful for those on a tour during the Olympics. However, in addition to helping sports fans find competition venues, the material also features the different tourist attractions that will be hosting some sporting competitions. See three of them below:
Hampton Court Palace
In addition to being one of the oldest and most beautiful Tudor-era royal palaces in England, the gardens of this important building will be the scene of cycling competitions, as well as guarding one of the world's most famous bush mazes. Don't worry, cyclists won't have to ride it!
Greenwich park
Famous for its beautiful gardens and also for the presence of the Royal Observatory, through which passes the imaginary line that divides the Earth into west and east, here will be held events of equestrian and modern pentathlon. Be sure to bring your camera, as the observatory views are a must.
Hyde park
Located in the city center, Hyde Park is famous mainly for its “speaker corner, ” where any citizen can deliver the speech they want - as long as it doesn't involve the Royal Family - from a crate, so I wouldn't be stepping on English soil, being free of British law. There will be triathlon evidence here, but you can speak against our government without risking arrest if you wish!
