London, Dublin, and the Rest of the UK
London epitomizes history, culture, and the new. Visit world-famous landmarks like the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, and the Houses of Parliament, or take a day to enjoy some of the world-class museums: the British Museum and Tate Modern. The city's dynamic neighborhoods-from Camden, Shoreditch, and Notting Hill-serve up tasty food, cutting-edge art, and pulsating nightlife, while a South Bank or Hyde Park stroll offers an unhurried look at day-to-day city life. Then, of course, there's the view from the London Eye or The Shard.
Across the Irish Sea, Dublin charms travelers with its friendly atmosphere and literary heritage. You can tour the Guinness Storehouse, visit the historic Trinity College Library to see the Book of Kells, or enjoy live music in the city's many pubs. Beyond London and Dublin, the United Kingdom's other cities have their own unique appeal: Edinburgh enchants with its medieval Old Town and stunning castle, Manchester and Liverpool pulse with music and football culture, and Cardiff offers a dynamic mix of history and modern Welsh spirit. From the rugged beauty of the Scottish Highlands to the tranquil lakes of Cumbria, every corner of the UK has something memorable to experience.
