Around the royal wedding of Prince Harry with Meghan Markle, England gains additional attraction as a tourist destination. Travelers will find cliffs, castles and green hills in this part of Britain.
London
London offers some of the best museums in the world, famous sights and an exciting nightlife with lots of live music. This mixture is attractive. The English capital is the most visited city in Europe and attracts millions of tourists every year.
castles
During a visit to one of the countless castles you can immerse yourself in the history of England. Many of these old buildings are well maintained and preserved. So Dover Castle, a medieval fortress towering over the white cliffs of Dover.
tea
The traditional "Tea Time", the "Five O'Clock Tea", is served with black tea and milk. The tea culture of the country originated in the mid-17th century. There are also scones, a soft pastry. It's best to warm the scones with jam and clotted cream, a kind of thick cream.
architecture
England also stands for modern building with architects like Norman Foster and David Chipperfield. In London, you can go for a swim in the Aquatics Center designed by architect Zaha Hadid for the 2012 Olympic Games.
Stonehenge
The two stone circles are the most famous prehistoric monument in England. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Whether the stones served as a temple, observatory or burial ground remains unclear to this day. The stones of the inner circle were set up around 2500 BC.
Manchester
The former industrial center of Manchester has become a modern city with trendy bars and clubs. The Manchester International Festival features world-renowned musicians, artists and actors every two years.
gardens
In England there are countless large landscaped gardens, but also many small publicly accessible flower gardens. A famous example of English garden art is Stourhead Garden southwest of London. In 1740 the complex was opened as a Gesamtkunstwerk consisting of meadows, lakes, forests, viewpoints and visual axes.
The Beatles
If you are a Beatles fan, come to Liverpool. In the suburbs of the city are still the houses in which three of the mushroom heads spent their childhood. Liverpool is also home to Penny Lane, the Beatles Story Museum and the Cavern Club, the basement lounge where The Beatles performed hundreds of shows.
Cornwall
The southwestern part of England has a surprisingly mild climate for English conditions. But what makes Cornwall special is its nature and landscape: rough, steep rocky coasts, small fishing villages and long sandy beaches. Ideal setting for crime stories by Agatha Christie or novels by Rosamunde Pilcher.
Shakespeare
His works have elevated the English language to art. In the county of Warwickshire one comes particularly close to the poet William Shakespeare. In Stratford-upon-Avon his birthplace and his classroom can be seen. His world-famous stage plays are performed regularly throughout England, including the Globe Theater in London.
