Instead of battling traffic, why not experience the city from a fresh perspective? A water taxi offers a convenient and scenic way to hop between Downtown and South Beach. You'll glide past iconic landmarks, soaking in panoramic views while avoiding the gridlock. Here's the thing: it's primarily a <a href="/transport" class="internal-link">transportation</a> service, not a narrated tour, so manage your expectations accordingly.

The reality is, the charm is worth navigating the occasional crowd. Plan for about 10 hours—prepare for walks interspersed with informative talks and quiet moments in ancient landscapes.

• Tate Britain: Turner and Constable Exhibition

  Tate Britain stands as a monument to British art, but it's the temporary exhibitions that often draw the most attention. The Turner and Constable exhibition, should it be revived (as Tate Britain frequently re-examines its collection), offers a unique opportunity to witness a conversation across time between two giants of British landscape painting. You'll see how J.M.W. Turner's revolutionary use of light and color both echoed and diverged from John Constable's more grounded, observational approach. Here's the thing: these exhibitions can be intensely popular, leading to crowded galleries and timed entry slots. The reality is that if you're not deeply invested in 19th-century British art, this particular focus might not be the best use of your time in <a href="/destinations/london" class="internal-link">London</a>’s museum scene.

This isn't about passively observing art; it's about experiencing it from within. You'll wander through multiple galleries, each dedicated to a different style or movement, all brought to life with cutting-edge projection technology. Here's the thing: with such high-tech displays, it can get crowded, especially during peak hours, and the constant motion might not be for everyone. But if you're looking for a fresh take on classic art, it’s worth a look. Allocate around 2 hours to fully appreciate the experience, including potential queueing time.

Once there, you'll encounter extensive collections of paintings, drawings, and sculptures, offering a comprehensive look into Miró's visionary universe under natural skylights that cast a soft glow over the exhibits. Here's the thing—while it's an art lover's dream, <a href="/attractions" class="internal-link">the attraction</a> can get crowded, especially during peak tourist seasons. Plan for 2-3 hours, factoring in around 15 minutes for the queue, though skip-the-line tickets can ease this. Be mindful of the distinct architectural style by Josep Lluís Sert, which perfectly complements Miró’s whimsical world. But make no mistake, the art alone makes any wait worthwhile.

If you're planning to visit Girona—perhaps for its medieval architecture or to catch a flight at Girona-Costa Brava Airport—this bus service offers a convenient solution. Here's the thing: while the bus is practical, it isn't always the most scenic or luxurious option. You won't have the personalized service of a private transfer or the speed of the train.
