Lush green rolling countrysides, seaside towns, and ancient castles... Britain and Ireland are picture-perfect and completely different from the rest of their European counterparts. Rich history, age-old traditions, and medieval cities make it a total haven for culture vultures. There's so much diversity in these small countries... there's even multiple languages! London is such a melting pot of nationalities, which means you'll get tastes from all corners of the world, and if you're looking for rural, beautiful landscapes, these are the ideal countries to visit. From mountain ranges to still lakes, if you're an outdoor adventurer, Britain and Ireland are exactly the places to visit.
