Madame Tussauds
The world's most famous waxworks — selfies with royals, footballers and superheroes, plus a small Marvel and ride add-on.
The call
Skip it unless this is central to the trip.
Short answer
Is Madame Tussauds worth it?
Madame Tussauds is easy to leave out. Go early or reserve ahead. Crowds are part of the cost.
The answer depends on your budget, time and travel style; the breakdown below shows who gets the most value.
Why
- 01
It's a hit of pure selfie fun if you're into celebrity spotting, and some figures are uncannily good.
- 02
The honest catch: it's expensive, packed, and over once you've taken your photos — there's no real substance beyond the wax.
