Often there are a lot of problem using public transport like no respect to fixed time, no place left or sitting places.
In Paris I did do a lot of sightseeing visiting the Louvre museum, the Effel Tower or Pompidou museum.
I would like visiting London where I would enjoy going to the Theatre or watching football match.
