Rafael Nadal has just claimed the French Open title for the third consecutive year. Tennis action now moves to the green grass. Wimbledon is the ultimate destination for many a tennis fan.
For the 2007 Wimbledon tennis championships it is not too late to book your travel package to take your seat on center court, however you will need a fat wallet to do so.
I have been looking around the net for travel packages to Wimbledon. Sportstraveller.com list ticket only packages for $2,396.00 if you are looking for a men’s final ticket. Opening day centre court tickets are listed at $898.00.
Tennistours.com have available four night packages that take in either the Quarters or the Semis. Prices start at $6196. The packages include four nights staying at either the Sofitel, St James or at the Ritz. Distance by tube to Wimbledon from Sofitel St. James- 30 minutes, Ritz Hotel – 25 minutes.
While you are in London you can take in many of the fantastic sights and sounds. Some of my favourites include a visit to Buckingham Palace, a stroll past the houses of parliament and Big Ben. Also on my to do list is a theatre performance and a stroll through the shops along Bond Street.
If you are considering a trip to the tennis you had better act now. The first ball is served on June 25, 2007.
