UK Travel Suggestions?

Question

Hello UK,

If you were an American visiting the UK, what places would you visit? I have been to London, Edinburgh, and Bath - I want to see other places. I have 5 days. Also how much is gasoline on your side of the pond if I decide to rent a car. Any advice will help :)

Answer 1

Liverpool, Chester, Oxford, Windsor. Also much smaller, Cirencester in Gloucestershire is one of the most beautiful villages in the country

Answer 2

Liverpool is a very interesting city, with lots of culture, history, and shopping! The World Museum Liverpool and the Walker Art Gallery are just two of Liverpool's attractions, and are both completely free. You could even watch a football (soccer!) match at Goodison (Everton F.C.) or Anfield (Liverpool F.C.). If you do want to do this I suggest you book in advance. You can do this on their websites.

Also, as a few others have already said, the Scottish Highlands are very beautiful and well worth a visit. Aviemore is a good place to stay. The town itself is nice enough, but nothing really special, but it is a good central place to visit lots of beatiful places nearby.

Petrol is very expensive over here at the minute, so you could use public transport to get to some places. It depends on where you are going to stay really.

Hope you have a good trip. xx

I lived in Germany for a jiffy and function traveled some cases by potential of motor vehicle, you will certainly love the experience! From Germany this is common to relocate to many eu worldwide places. you may desire to force to Switzerland, Austria, Poland, Italy, Denmark, Netherlands...only to call some. i might propose Netherlands and Italy, those are "could see" places. on a similar time as in Germany look at Berlin, Munich and Cologne. in case you come to a decision to pass to Italy, you may def end at Rome, such a historic city! interior the Netherlands Rotterdam and Amsterdam are stunning cities. wish that helps.

Look, The Dollar is weak against the Pound.
You'll be entering a Crumbling,Bankrupt society where being ripped off and High prices are common place.
So...Bring a ton of Travellers Cheques, get on a Train and Visit the Lake District or North Wales.
You can always Hire a vehicle for a day or two when you get to the Location.
A Sat Nav. Devices is also essential when visiting the backwaters of the UK.
Have a great Trip and expect really bad Customer Service,Rudeness and a Ton of Chavs !

Answer 5

Irrespective of where you visit forget hiring a car - not only will you have to endure sky high petrol prices you will have to cope with our crumbling public transport systems and roads.

If you are staying in a single place or multiple places, and visiting many different areas you would be better off checking out something like http://www.where2guv.com where you can book one way and return transfers from anywhere to anywhere in the UK.

I've used this service and its more like having a chauffeur than a simple transfer and they are always on time and highly professional with good cars too.

It may look a little expensive but its worth it to ensure you see all the UK has to offer instead of worrying about where you are going and potentially getting lost.

Hope this helps, enjoy your trip

Answer 6

YORKSHIRE IS VERY NICE WITH MANY LOVELY PLACES TO VISIT. YORK IS VERY POPULAR AS IT HAS THE JORVIK MUSEUM AND OTHERS.

CORNISH COAST IS VERY PRETTY TOO.

PETROL IS MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE HERE APPROX £1.00 A LITRE.

Answer 7

Gasoline is horribly expensive - about 1.02 GB Pounds per litre, which translates to about 7.72 US dollars per US gallon at current exchange rates. I'd think about that before planning to drive very far.

Pity, as some of our most beautiful areas such as the Scottish Highlands are perhaps best toured by car. There are bus services, though, if a car is too expensive.

Answer 8

If you are an American renting a car in the UK, you will no doubt faint at the petrol prices! Upwards of £1 a litre these days. You'd be much better off using public transport.

Obviously it depends on what kind of places you want to see - the Highlands of Scotland are incredibly beautiful. If you're more into city sights London and Edinburgh can be done again and again. Glasgow is only an hour from Edinburgh and has some quite stunning architecture. York is nice, very historic, and nearby Harrogate is "picture postcard" English.
