Welcome to England—the country that brought us Shakespeare and The Beatles, high tea and Stonehenge and the world’s most stoic royal guards. You journey begins in London, where you can ride the London Eye or tour Buckingham Palace to your heart’s content. This 2,000-year-old city has it all: historic pubs, innovative architecture, and ornately designed castle gardens. After three nights in the English capital, you’re off to Manchester by train. Here it’s all about industry and football. Embrace your inner sports fan with a tour of the Manchester United Museum, or head to the Science and Industry Museum (housed in the oldest rail terminus in the world) to learn about the city’s role in the Industrial Revolution. Of course, no trip to Manchester would be complete without experiencing its famous live music scene or marveling at the archaeological wonders of the Manchester Museum.
