United Kingdom
The United Kingdom
The United Kingdom is an island in Northwest Europe and is unique in that it is a country made up of four constituent countries: England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. London is by far the largest city in the country and the most common spot for tourists, but the country is also home to quaint countryside villages, picturesque islands, and Medieval towns.
When is the best time to visit?
The Summer would be my preferred time to visit the UK for weather purposes, but Christmas in London is also iconic. The country gets a bad reputation for being very rainy, but my experience while living there was that it would rain for 15 minutes and the sun would come back out. All that to say – don’t let the weather
