AboutEmoor Expertise I have been traveling almost annually in England or Scotland as a tourist for the last 25 years, so I know quite a bit about train travel, car rental, B&Bs, tourist discounts, standard tourist sites, good places to eat, pubs, prices, and things to do off
Question My friend and I will be traveling to England for the first time when we graduate high school. What place would be best to visit? Also, if you know of some inexpensive hotels in the area you recommend, that would be great. Thank you.
Answer Your question is a very good one. You should visit London and at least one or two other cities or towns or villages. I need to know how long you plan to be in England to make good suggestions.
Everybody who goes to London will want to visit The Tower of London and Westminster Abbey. You probably will want to ride The London Eye and maybe visit Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. However, any good guide book can tell you about these popular attractions so you do not need me to do that.
There are many hostels in London and elsewhere in England. They are the best places for students trying to save money. Go to Google and type in "Hostels in London".
If you want really good advice, follow up your question by telling me several things:
1. How long do you want to be in England, and what months?
2. In your ordinary life, what are you interested in?
Sports and partying?
Music-- and if so what kinds? Pop? Rock? Classical? Opera? what?
What times in history?
Drama, plays or movies?
Military and wars?
Let me know the information, and I can make some good suggestions.
