Speaking of the United Kingdom. Many people immediately think of England, but the United Kingdom is also Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. And each of these regions has a lot of interesting things for its guests. So what to do as a tourist visiting the rank and file of the British?
1. Pay tribute to the British capital
As formulaic as such advice may seem, but the London is worth a visit, because the English capital has absorbed all the best that can be offered to a traveler. Museums, galleries, pubs and bars, parks and palaces - here English life will appear before you from the most different angles.
Take a ride on the London Eye Ferris wheel for a view of London, or visit a couple or three of the capital's famous museums like the Victoria and Albert Museum, the British Museum or the Tate Gallery for an hour or two in the company of the world's masterpieces. If you want to tickle your nerves and learn about the dark history of London's slums, no problem! The show "London Dungeons" is exactly what you need: Jack the Ripper, Sweeney Todd and many other bloody and horrible personalities performed by actors under impressively realistic special effects - the intensity of emotions is guaranteed! (Read more about the show here).
And if your budget is a bit limited, you can see many of the sights of Britain's capital for free. You can read more about them here.
2. Visit real English pubs
What is England without English pubs? The tradition of sitting in these establishments can only be compared to the tea tradition of Japan: here, as there, too, there is its own philosophy and its own traditions. For example, only beer was (and still is) served in pubs for centuries, though you will not be offended by the assortment, don't worry. But new-fashioned introductions like coffee, cider or juice are rather a forced tribute to the requirements of the time. That's why you should order only foamy beverage in a pub and only it! And every English pub is also a unique atmosphere, which you can catch only after sitting in it and draining a couple or three pints of ale.
To get acquainted with the English beer tradition (and history at the same time) we advise you to visit Olde Trip to Jerusalem pub, where Crusaders are said to have stayed, or
