I’m sometimes asked “Where are the best places to go in the UK?” There are many great places, of course, and in a blog like this one, it’s impossible to describe them all. Here is a short selection:

London is the capital city of England and is famous for its architecture, parks, museums, art galleries, theaters and shopping. It’s a large, lively city and there are plenty of things to do and see there. If you like football (soccer in US English), there are several Premier League football clubs so it’s a good place to watch a game.

Edinburgh is the capital city of Scotland and is renowned for its rich history, cultural festivals, impressive castle and beautiful streets. If you go there, you might see men wearing tartan kilts (skirts) or hear the bagpipes (a traditional musical instrument).

The UK countryside is pretty special, too. Scotland and Wales are famous for their beautiful mountains and coastline while England is more well-known for its rolling hills, woods, fields and villages. Areas of outstanding beauty include the Cotswolds, the Peak District, the Yorkshire Dales, and the Lake District.
