I’ve been to many places for only one day and to tell you the truth if you organize your time well it won’t be a problem to visit everything without missing a single detail. I’ll mention some of the places I’ve been so far and I’ve had a great time. First of all you can start with Bad, then Canterbury, Oxford, Brighton, Stonehenge, Hampton Court, Cambrigdge and Eton. You can do any of these attractions by yourself but I would recommend you to use Apartment in Las Vegas explorer days – the prices are affordable and if you are not familiar with the place you will have the chance to learn its history. If you decide to take them ( as I did) let me give you some information – you will have the chance to choose between two tours – the one is in the morning and the second one is in the afternoon. You will have time for lunch. To get to the place a public transport will be used but you will get discounts since you are group. Of course you can always hire a private bus if you are a big group but the prices will go up.

My first day trip I decided to make on my own was to Bath. I didn’t have any problem with the time but I’d recommend you to leave before 10:00 AM. If you are a castle lover then you should visit Kent – it is easily accessible by train and it is quite near to London. If you are a train fan then you should consider the idea to buy a railpass which allows you to catch any train anytime. This transport is quite useful in England because you can reach almost every place worth visiting. If you have a chance try to visit all of the above mentioned places because all of them are great and you will have what to see. Take a photo camera with you because you will want to take pictures of these wonderful locations which every tourist should see.

If you buy tickets in advance you can even go to Paris buy train in less than 2 hours, so you would not need accommodation in Paris apartments. On the other hand if you have a few extra days you can travel to Italy and stay in Rome apartments.

England is considered as one of the most socially and economically developed countries around the world. Apart from these, the magnificent landscape and natural beauty can turn anybody into a poet. I have known that a big part of England was covered with woods. However, skyscrapers have taken the place of wild trees. Still, I have felt the presence of nature among the big buildings by visiting the Hatfield forest, situated in Essex.

London, the spine of England, is my all time favorite and for that reason, I have gone to all the historical landmarks of London. Starting from the giant clock Big Ben, I have stepped to the London Eye, from where I have seen every corner of London. Besides, I have toured to Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, Tower of London and many other places.

I have always wanted to go through every corner of the rich museums of England. My dreams come true when I have stepped in the British Museum, National History Museum in London, National Gallery, Albert Museum, Maritime Museum and others. All these museums are like a huge mine of knowledge for me. I have never seen such a grand combination of art, history and sculpture before. I have acquired much unknown information regarding the history of England after this memorable visit.

Walking along with the famous Oxford Street made me feel like a real traveler, who has come to this country to quench his thirst of beauty. The artwork outside every historical building of England is the identification of earlier master sculptors. St. Paul’s Cathedral has attracted me the most, from where I have been able come close to God. Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle still hold the flag of royalty and pride of the country.

I have lived in a high class of hotel of England, enjoyed the food of the place, wandered every remarkable place and enjoyed every bit of my journey. I have not faced any problems regarding transportation. This place has amazed me so much that I want to come here back again and again.
