It is the land of Big Ben, Banksy, and bangers and mash. From its busy cities to its beautiful flowering gardens, it doesn't disappoint. 

London
What can be said of London which its landmarks haven't done already? For centuries, England's (and Britain's) capital and largest city have been the magnet of so much wealth, art, culture, and politics that it arguably replaced the ancient cities of Athens and Rome to become a 'New Rome' in its own right. London's immense cultural influence has made it a major global destination. The myriad variety of attractions is too much to be jotted down into a few places here and there because there's not enough you can do and visit in such a tremendously vibrant, cosmopolitan city. London has become so remarkably influential that it's arguably impossible to see something truly 'British' about it except its unique cultural, linguistic and culinary diversity, making London more of a world capital than a state one.

From Medieval to Elizabethan, to Georgian, to Victorian, to Edwardian, to 20th century, each segment of London bears the grace and greatness each monarch left in his or her reign. A 'modest' (and we mean modest) trip to London would include Westminster Abbey, the headquarters of Britain's Parliament and the so emblematic Big Ben clock; the iconic Tower of London; Buckingham Palace (try catching a glimpse of Kate and William, maybe even the Queen!); the Victoria and Albert Museum (museums in Britain are FREE!); the modern London Eye; and for the lovers of shopping…Harrods? Marks and Spencer? Anyone? Try Europe's most bustling shopping street, Oxford (its lights are fantastic during Xmas), or head to the hip Picadilly Circus for a daze of the giant LED Broadway lights.

Suppose you couldn't catch a glimpse of the rich and famous, why! You can have them all at your disposition at Madame Tussauds' famed wax museum. And if London reminds you of Shakespeare, why not visit the Globe Theatre on The Thames' banks and experience his plays as they would have been played five centuries ago.

London is also a major culinary center globally, and chances are you'll find more restaurants offering international cuisine than anything else. Indian chicken tikka masala (said to be, humorously, Britain's national dish), Thai tom yang goon, Middle Eastern kebab or mezze, Caribbean jerked chicken, Chinese beef chow fun, Russian stroganoff, German sauerbraten, French bouillabaisse, Afghan Kabuli pilaw, Italian chicken parmigiana, Spanish paella, Greek, Moroccan couscous, African chakalaka…an endless list of delicious dishes as fascinating to the palate as their nationalities are to the eyes. If you wish to culminate your trip with a journey to the obscure, mysterious entrails of history, take the train to the southwest, Grateley on the London-Salisbury Lane, and be inspired by the ever verdant English countryside. From there, head to nearby Amesbury, the UK's oldest, continuously inhabited place, and 2 miles away is the famous Stonehenge Neolithic complex. Try to wonder how they got those stones there, and above all, what for?

When they call it "The Green Emerald," it's because there's much substance to it: verdant all-year-round landscapes of valleys and mountains, and equally sparkling as the eponymous gem, Ireland is lively and tries to be less flashy than its Anglo-Saxon neighbor, but again, it cannot help being ultra-charming and nearly as vibrant. At the end of the rainbow, the story goes, is the pot of gold, but Ireland is far more prosperous and marvelous than that! Nowhere is this more evident than in its capital and largest city, Dublin.
 
Dublin
Veined by the River Liffey and replete with iconic buildings, Dublin is ideal for those who seek something less flashy and clichéd than London. One of its landmarks is the imposing and history-rich Dublin Castle, but as it is also quite dynamic, Dublin is also modern and vibrant. For instance, Dublin's Spire, a gigantic stainless steel needle pinching the sky from one of the city's trendiest avenues, O'Connell Street. Dublin is also famed for its usually packed pubs and restaurants, which have long attracted artists like William Butler Yeats, Samuel Beckett, the eccentric James Joyce, and (get a chill of this!) Dracula's creator, Bram Stoker. The city also offers tranquil public parks like Phoenix and St. Stephen's, both near Grafton and Henry Streets, Dublin's most picturesque and trendiest shopping centers. For a less formal yet more exciting experience, try the open market on Moore Street. In terms of architecture, St. Patrick's Cathedral stands as Ireland's tallest and most extensive, while the imposing Customs House presents neo-classical touches to mark its importance. Trinity College is Ireland's preeminent institution of higher education, while the National Museum complements the city's intellectual vibe. As far as fun, entertainment is an understatement for a city that boasts thousands of lively pubs and intense nightlife, but there are also daytime venues such as the ones held on St. Patrick's Day when the entire country enters in festive mode. Colorful parades and fairs begin to populate the country's cities. And if you claim to have visited Dublin without passing by the famed Guinness Brewery and Storehouse, you've never been to Dublin! 

Scotland is the land of antique castles, with great attractions, galleries, and museums. It is a splendid place for hiker's lovers due to its majestic mountainscapes. You will also have the opportunity to roam through its natural beaches and experience its unique music and theatres.
 
Edinburgh
Edinburgh has had an immense role in the arts, literature, and politics, with significant characters either hailing from or having resided there, like Samuel Johnson, Arthur Conan Doyle, Adam Smith J.K. Rowling, Charles Darwin, and Sean Connery. Edinburgh has also been a major science center, with many engineering and learning centers like Edinburgh's famed University. But what makes the city so much appealing is its unique Old Town skyline. It preserves many Medieval and Reformation-era buildings, cobbled streets, and a picturesque profile seldom seen elsewhere. The prominent landmarks are Edinburgh Castle with the quaint Grassmarket at its bottom, and the area containing Holyrood Palace, the monarch's official residence in Scotland. Edinburgh is also home to excellent museums, like the National Museum of Scotland, the National Gallery of Scotland, and the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, which houses some of Britain's finest paintings. Edinburgh is also packed with crowded, cheery pubs and cafes. Beyond the city are a breathtaking expanse of verdant valleys, crags, rolling hills, and country mansions, all forming the pre-requisites for a truly romantic painting. 

You will explore intact and sleepy villages. You will see many shops, restaurants, galleries, and adventure sports. Wales extends areas of outstanding natural beauty, national parks, miles of accessible coastal path, fantastic gardens, and more than 600 historic castles not to miss.
 
Cardiff
A city with no end of entertainment and plenty to do, Cardiff is a diamond for those looking for activities. From merging up the Welsh capital's incredible atmosphere to immersing yourself in some of its most unique ventures. Cardiff Bay is one of the most picturesque areas in the city. Besides, its castles, parks, beautiful churches, bars, and restaurants.
