Places to Visit in the UK

The United Kingdom is so full of exciting places to visit that it is sometime difficult to know where to start. Here is a list of 5 cities that you should definitely explore yourself.

1. London
London is quite possibly the most well known city on the planet. I could spend all day listing the attractions on offer. From the Tower of London to Buckingham Palace, the streets seethe with history and power. Perhaps you might like to visit the Charles Dickens Museum on Doughty Street. After all, 2012 marks the 200th year since the great man’s birth and a whole host of special events are planned at the museum to celebrate.

2. Glasgow
Glasgow is the largest city in Scotland, and one of the most vibrant to boot. If you want to splash the cash and take advantage of its excellent shopping facilities, why not go the whole hog and book into one of the many luxury Glasgow hotels on offer.

3. Manchester
This great industrial city in the heart of North West England is home to Manchester United Football Club. Currently under the management of Sir Alex Ferguson, the club plays all their home games at Old Trafford and there are regular visitor tours held around the stadium.

4. Cardiff
If you want to go to a music concert, there is no better venue than Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium. Since its opening in June 1999, the stadium has welcomed an average 1.3 million visitors per year. The bowl of the Millennium Stadium is used for multiple types of concerts attracting some of the biggest bands of the planet. Indeed, the Michael Jackson memorial concert was recently held at the stadium.

5. Edinburgh
If you’re going to Edinburgh during the summer be warned that many a Perthshire hotel gets booked up well in advance. With major performing arts events such as the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, there is an electric buzz around the Scottish capital city ensuring that you will never be short of something to do.
