London

A land of legends with a millennia-old past, the United Kingdom has that intriguing and appealing quality unique to the old country of Europe. One step onto its soil is enough to dispel the clichés that portray it as a gray and rainy land. Indeed, the British Isles are lush and the landscapes are often breathtaking.

Although the country is small in size, its history is grand, and the influence it has had on the world through the centuries is still perceptible today. Whether through the writings of William Shakespeare, the songs of the Beatles, or the heinous crimes of Jack the Ripper, the British kingdom has always captured the imagination and inspired some of the greatest tales in history, from the legend of King Arthur to Harry Potter, along with Robin Hood and Sherlock Holmes.

London, the capital, is a cosmopolitan metropolis that has brilliantly combined tradition and modernity, drawing inspiration from the diverse communities that inhabit it. The city, home to some of the most famous British symbols such as Big Ben, red buses, Tower Bridge, Buckingham Palace, and the Tower of London, is undoubtedly a must-visit during any stay in England.

With its ancient castles, remarkable museums, a still-present royal family, and exceptional historical sites, it’s easy to see why this land full of mystery, nobility, and elegance continues to attract travelers.
