England

London may be the most vibrant, fascinating and open-minded capital city in Europe and one of the world’s most exciting ones. Although this sounds reason enough to visit England, there’s still a lot more to experience in this wonderful country. It’s not easy to describe the beauty of England’s landscapes. Dotted with historic sites, fairytale-like villages and quaint old pubs, the English countryside is a sight to remember. Regarded as the Cradle of the Industrial Revolution, England has no shortage of once gloomy industrial cities that are now reborn into amazing cultural and social hubs.

England’s many different faces are what makes it unique, after all. That’s why we can’t wait to see as much of it as possible. Come join us!

England is one of our favourite countries. Not only because we are desperately in love with London. First and foremost, we love England because there are many friends of ours who live there. This is why we plan a trip to England at least once a year so as to catch up with all or some of them.

Each time we travel to the country, we make sure we visit some place new too. During our most recent trip to England, we spent a long weekend exploring some of the best villages in the Cotswolds. To say that their charms took our breaths away would be an understatement.

There’s no better way to get to know a city than wander around its streets. We absolutely love exploring new destinations on foot. Especially when the weather is fine, nothing can keep us from strolling around for hours. London is one of our favourite cities to do so. The UK capital has many different faces and this is what makes its walking routes all the more fascinating. We particularly enjoy walking along the South Bank of the Thames.

Our favourite South Bank walk in London starts from the Tower of London (which is actually on the north bank of the Thames, oops!) and goes all the way to the London Eye and Westminster Bridge. Our itinerary includes the entire length of the riverside pedestrian path known as The Queen’s Walk.  

On our every trip abroad, we try to experience as many new places as possible. Ideally, we like to overnight in all our destinations. Unfortunately, we don’t always have enough time to do so. That’s why we love day trips. They give us the chance to get a taste of someplace new in just a few hours. So, during our recent trip to England, we took a delightful Oxford day trip on our way from Bristol to London.

Who can argue that London is an absolutely fascinating city? We are utterly in love with the UK capital and we never miss an opportunity to plan a trip there. During our first trip to London a few years back, we made sure we ticked most, if not all, of our bucket-list things to do there. So, on our second time in London, we decided to add somewhat quirkier, out of the ordinary experiences to our itinerary. This is why we joined a Highgate Cemetery tour and we’re very happy we did. It turns out that this was the best way to uncover many of the secrets of our beloved city’s dark past.
