Official National Gallery highlights 1-hour guided tour

If you’re in London, you must visit this place. I stopped by during an 8 hour layover, and even though I couldn’t take my time the way I wanted to, it was absolutely worth it. The collection is stunning, wall after wall of masterpieces you could spend hours admiring. I barely scratched the surface and already felt amazed. I’ll definitely be coming back on a proper trip so I can truly enjoy and appreciate everything this museum has to offer.

Definitely worth visiting if you are an art fan. Has all the masters - from 500-600yrs ago to almost the present day (if you include the private paid exhibitions also). Artists include Picasso, Monet's Water Lillies, Van Gogh's Sunflowers (one of his sunflower paintings), Manet, Titian, Velazquez, Pissaro, Degas, Rembrandt, Gustav Klimt, Raphael, Paul Cézanne, Canaletto, Edgar Degas, Da Vinci, Caravaggio, Eugène Delacroix, Georges Seurat, Van Eyck, Boticelli, Peter Paul Rubens, Gerhard Richter, Turner, Reynolds, Gainsborough and many, many more. Easy to get to via Charing Cross (closest)/Embankment/St James Park/Westminster/Leicester Square/Piccadilly Circus tube stations. Give yourself lots of time - at least a few hours to visit all the precious paintings in here. Must see - it's a national treasure!

I came to The National Gallery in the early afternoon of the 22nd November 2025. I wanted to come here for a couple reasons. As mentioned before I love art museums so that was a factor. As it is a national gallery, it is also free to enter, which is a nice touch. The museum has really good ratings on here. And also, there are some famous paintings here I wanted to see. This place is really really cool and highly recommend it. So many pieces to see. Truly fascinating!

I visited The National Gallery and had a wonderful experience. The entrance is free, and the museum has a beautiful space with many famous artworks from different periods. It’s inspiring and perfect for anyone who enjoys art. I highly recommend visiting when you’re in London!

I can say that I love this museum. Seeing such a collection of paintings for free is just amazing nowadays. There are beautiful paintings in every room. I could spend a day to visit it. Just do not forged taking a map at the entrance as this is a pretty large museum. French, Spanish, Italian, English, Deutsche… painters from middle age to impressionists. A pretty large collection of Impressionists paintings that can rival with that of Musée d’Orsay in France. Only the Louvre in France is more impressive (but far from being free) among all painting museums that I visited all other the world (with a special notice for Grenoble and Poitier’s painting museum that are great place to visit too).
