Like a dark Earl Grey tea, England is steeped in a rich history, home to famous sites like Stonehenge, Westminster Abbey and Tower Bridge. From medieval battles to the Beatles, from the green English countryside to modern metropolitan centers of London, Manchester and Liverpool, England offers world-renowned cultural arts and peaceful retreats for visitors near and far.
London is England’s lifeblood and capital city; it’s the political and arts and entertainment center of the country. Watch your favorite Shakespeare play at the Globe Theatre, discover contemporary and classical artworks at Tate Modern and the Royal Museum, and shop and a variety of open-air street markets, like the Walthamstow Market—England’s longest street market.
Other English cities include the burgeoning financial center of Manchester—also home to one of the most popular soccer (football) teams, Manchester United—and Liverpool, a diverse port city and a cultural arts center, which produced the Beatles and many other famous artists and poets.
