I've taken a few solo trips in the past and always enjoyed nerding it up at some world-class museums. I love London for that reason. Was there solo for 4 days back in 2018 and I spent so much time at such awesome places. Visited the WW2 museum in Gdansk last year solo which is an amazing, yet very sombering place. I like going solo as I can take my time, don't have to explain everything with whomever I'm with, and can really get a feel for what I am seeing.
Dougie Hamilton was right all along.

When I was working in London, my office was near the British Museum. Everyday at lunchtime they have a free guided tour in some little corner of the museum, so I used to use my lunch break to go there and learn about something random, like Minoan art or Roman coinage. That was a great little luxury.
Also, I lived not too far from the National Army Museum so I would go there from time to time and, starting at the beginning, read every single thing until I got bored, and then my next time back I'd just pick up where I left off.
