I am not much of an art buff, but after spending quite a while at this gallery, I was quite impressed.
I recommend visiting for at least a couple of hours. Less than this does not satisfy. Leave a Comment

If you have the slightest appreciation for art or history, a visit to the National Gallery in London is a must. It's wonderful, and I still can't believe it's FREE!
The National Portrait Gallery is nice, but viewing portraits -- even great portraits of famous people -- gets boring after a while.
But in the nearby National Gallery -- just a short walk from several central London tube stations and right on Trafalgar Square -- there are world-renowned paintings by artist from every European country and culture and from just about every period in history.
Wanna see a Rembrandt? A Van Gogh? A Botticelli? A Renoir? They're not just English painters here.
I never get enough of the National Gallery. Whenever I visit London I spend most of a day walking around or sitting on the benches in the various galleries. Then, if I can spare a second day, I'll go back again.
London has many world-class museums, but the National Gallery is a world treasure. Leave a Comment

If you love art and free activities the National Gallery is a must see in London. I really enjoyed taking my time to look around, because I knew I could always come back and it wouldn't cost anything. Leave a Comment

One of the best art collection in London, and the Trafalgar Square in front is a cool hang out place with a wonderful view. Basically Trafalgar Square is the center of London, so National gallery is in the heart of London.
It will be a good start to tour the city with this place ~ Leave a Comment

The National Gallery has one of the finest large collections in Europe. Not quite up to the Prado on a piece by piece basis but given the size of the collection not far behind. The Gallery does provide programs for children and, if you are interested in introducing the children to some of the finer things, you may want to look into this. Leave a Comment

The National Gallery is pretty decent. Its free (thought they ask for a donation), as are the audiotours. I wouldn't say it is worth a whole lot of time. Maybe I'm spoiled from having been to some of the famous art museums in France and Italy, but there are a lot of other places in London that I would rather visit. If you have a lot of time its worth a look. And if you know of a couple paintings you really want to see, you can just go and find them, then leave. I've posted some photos and tips from my time in London on my travel blog, the National Gallery part is at the end of this post:
