If you’re planning to visit the United Kingdom, you will be glad to hear that this relatively small island has a huge amount to offer. There’s so much to see and do in the UK that you simply won’t be able to do it all in just seven days, so be sure to do your research before you travel and pick out the sights and attractions that you want to see the most. Here are some tips to keep in mind to help you get the most out of your UK trip. 

Travel by Train:

The train is by far the easiest way to get around in the UK with plenty of reliable train services spanning the country. For example, you can take a train from London to Edinburgh in just a few hours and explore these two very different major UK cities on the same day. Do some research on the cities that you want to visit, and work out train routes between them so that you can benefit from getting there as quickly as possible. There are also plenty of scenic train routes to explore with breathtaking stops along the way that you can get off and spend some time at. 

Try a Group Tour:

Group tours are very popular in the United Kingdom and these organized trips are an ideal way to get around and make the most of your time there. For example, you can join Ireland tours in small groups if you want to spend the day in Dublin or Belfast, or explore some of Ireland’s gorgeous countryside. You can also find smaller group tours in major cities like London, many of which have fun themes like the Harry Potter Walking Tour. 

Prepare for the Weather:

If you are traveling from somewhere that has quite a stable climate, the typical weather in the UK might be a shock to you. It’s not uncommon for it to be sunny, raining or even snowing on the same day in the UK depending on the time of year that you visit, so be sure to check out the weather forecasts and plan what you pack accordingly so that you can protect yourself from the elements if needed. Wearing layers is the best option since this allows to you take some off if the weather gets suddenly warmer, which it can often do. 

Book Online:

When you visit some of the most popular attractions in the UK, there’s likely to be a long queue of visitors at the booking office so to save time and make sure that you are making the most of your seven days in the country, it’s a wise idea to book online and get a skip-the-queue ticket. While this might often cost you a little more for the convenience, it’s usually well worth it. 

Get a City Pass:

When visiting large cities like London, a City Pass is often the best way to see the most in a short amount of time and for the best price. Your City Pass will give you entry to some of the top attraction in the city and usually includes travel to and from them.
