Things to do
United Kingdom culture – from clocks to casks
From arts and culture to roller coasters and national parks, the UK's got it. You can scope world-class art and artifacts at the British Museum – and while you're in town, the Tower of London, London Zoo and the iconic Big Ben clocktower are all worth a visit. You can catch plant life at Belfast's 66-acre Botanic Gardens, or get a closer look at mining history at the South Wales Miners' Museum. Theme parks like Alton Towers are a hit with families, while the renowned whisky distilleries in Scotland and Northern Ireland are generally better suited to an older crowd.
Activities
A sport and a pastime – what to do in the United Kingdom
One thing's for sure – you'll never have a dull moment in the United Kingdom. Hiking and camping are popular in England's Lake District, Wales's Snowdonia and the Scottish Highlands, and places like Brighton and Blackpool offer plenty of beaches for swimming and sunbathing. If sightseeing's your thing, Edinburgh Castle and Buckingham Palace are definite musts, and sports fans can catch a football match at Wembley or a rugby match at the Principality Stadium. You'll find loads of entertainment, too, from the theatres of London's West End to the bars and clubs of Belfast's Victoria Square.
Weather
Grey Britain – the United Kingdom's mild maritime climate
Fog jokes aside, the United Kingdom's known worldwide for its higher-than-average number of cool, grey days – and sometimes stereotypes exist for a reason. The whole nation has an oceanic climate, with mild summers, cool-ish winters and plenty of rain and overcast days all year round. Northern Ireland and Wales are wetter and windier, while Scotland typically has the coldest weather. Freezing temperatures and snowfall are common in more northerly areas in winter, and average summer highs range from the upper teens to the low 20s. But no matter when you visit, you'll find United Kingdom vacation rentals just right for your trip.
Natural highlights
Miles of isles – the United Kingdom's stellar scenery
Between the Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea, the British Isles offer scenery of all kinds. Major urban centres – like London, Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast – feature skylines dotted with historic buildings and sleek, modern skyscrapers. In the country, rivers and lakes abound, and you can find rolling moorland and mountain ranges in spots like England's Lake District and the Scottish Highlands; the Giant's Causeway boasts thousands of basalt rock formations from a prehistoric volcanic eruption. Ringed all around by scenic coastline, you can find loads of United Kingdom vacation rentals offering beach access or killer ocean views.
