UK Travel Guide
The United Kingdom has been called the biggest small country on Earth due to its sheer diversity. The UK has too many sites to mention. Though detached from the continent of Europe by only a few miles of water, the UK is permeated by a strong sense of its cultural separateness. Everything is different here: measures (pounds and ounces are still more popular than the now official kilos), traffic (small island, lots of traffic jams), customs and food.UK is rich in monuments, that attest to its intricate history; from ancient hill forts and Roman villas, through a host of medieval cathedrals to the ambitious civic projects of the Industrial Revolution.
The UK offers a lot of diversion to all its tourists: For pulsing cultural and nightlife, London, Manchester and Leeds are a must. To feel the charm of the English seaside and the importance of harbours for an island like the British Isles, travel along the southeastern coastline and explore the heritage of Maritime England at Portsmouth. In the central part of England you will find towns plenty of historical heritage like Salisbury, Oxford, Cambridge and Norwich. .. more
London
There is nowhere else on Earth quite like it. The world comes to London and what happens here affects every corner of the world. A global centre of commerce, retail, finance, entertainment, fashion, transit and trends, London can very often feel like the capital of Earth. London is also one of the world's most identifiable and emblematic cities - the city of Big Ben, double-decker buses, the Queen and the Tube, it quite rightly asserts itself in global conciousness as one of the greatest cities on earth... moreUK Destinations | ||

Oxford - The main reason why most people visit Oxford (less than two hours from London) is to fancy themselves a student at the famous Oxford University or pay homage to C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien and the Inklings.
Manchester is UK's second city with a cultural life to rival that of London. The city boasts some of the most interesting galleries and museums in the UK, such as the Museum of Science and Industry, the Whitworth for modern art, the City Art Gallery, the Lowry and the Imperial War Museum North.
