United Kingdom

With its iconic landmarks, incredible views, rich traditions, world-class dining, museums, galleries, international festivals, and vibrant nightlife, you'll want to return again and again!

The United Kingdom is made up of Northern Ireland and the three countries that make up Great Britain - Scotland, England and Wales, and is an island nation located in northwestern Europe. Birthplace of Shakespeare and the Beatles, rich in heritage and history, the UK has many bustling modern cities and sleepy old towns to visit, but where to start?

Firstly, London, a globally influential financial and cultural centre. Cosmopolitan, eccentric, vibrant, conservative and modern. No other city in Europe offers so many contrasts, such a profusion of styles, such a diversity of environments and ethnicities. Ancient sites such as the neolithic Stonehenge, the Roman baths of Bath, York and Stratford-upon-Avon are ideal for history lovers. The famous university cities of Oxford and Cambridge are rich in tradition and elegant architecture. In Scotland, find a country where lochs give rise to legendary monsters, where men wear skirts while drinking whisky, where nature sometimes takes on terrifying forms, where castles are haunted by ghosts.

The UK has a number of attractions and theme parks for all the family, including Alton Towers and Legoland Windsor, as well as the Harry Potter Studios at Warner Bros London and Warwick Castle. There are also many inspiring natural spaces, such as the Cotswolds, the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales, as well as the wild coasts of Cornwall and the Shetland Islands, the Giant's Causeway and the Mourne Mountains in Northern Ireland, the Brecon Beacons National Park and Port Conwy in Wales. So many iconic landmarks, breathtaking views, traditions, world-class restaurants, museums and galleries, international festivals, nightlife... the list of interests is so long that you'll want to come back again and again.
