Once the beating heart of the greatest empire the world has ever known, the UK is still, in many ways, the centre of it all. It remains one of the world’s major players in terms of art and culture, finance and business, innovation, creativity and travel bliss. There are countless wonders to discover in the evocative English countryside, the hidden history of Wales’ many castles, Scotland’s rich cultural heritage, and the charm and troubled past of Northern Ireland. And not to forget the metropolis itself, London, a multi-layered and diverse patchwork of cultures, languages and people, and one of the most exciting and influential cities in the world.
Edinburgh fortryller alle. Klippen med det berømte slot kan ses fra alle steder i byen og minder besøgeren om Skotlands blodige historie med Braveheart, Mary Queen of Scots og Bonnie Prince Charlie.
Her har forfattere fundet inspiration til klassiske, litterære figurer som dr Jekyll og mr Hyde, Sherlock Holmes og nu senest Harry Potter. Det er ikke underligt, at spøgelsesvandringer i de uhyggelige gyder er en af byens store turistattraktioner!
