Popular attractions
All of Great Britain's most popular attractions are described on mytravelbritain.co.uk, one of the most descriptive websites about this historic nation which is among the world's most visited countries. The most popular attractions in Great Britain are scattered throughout Wales, England, and Scotland.
Great Britain has such an abundance of popular attractions, most of which are listed at mytravelbritain.co.uk, it's hard for visitors to determine which ones to see first. A good place to begin, however, is London. Not only is London Great Britain's capital city, it is also the best known and most populated city in the country.
With dozens of historic attractions such as Westminster Abbey, the Tower of London, Big Ben, and plenty of royal palaces, visitors can spend a week in London alone and only scratch the surface of all this legendary city has to offer. London has also gained several far newer attractions like the Tate Modern art gallery and the Ferris wheel called the London Eye.
However, the capital cities of the other two sections of Great Britain, Scotland and Wales, also have much to offer. The Old Town of Scotland's capital, Edinburgh, contains most of the city's historic sites, while Edinburgh's New Town is home to much of the city's shopping. Cardiff, the capital of Wales, has overcome its industrial reputation to become a scenic city with several outdoor attractions.
Other major cities in Great Britain include Liverpool and Birmingham in England, and Scotland's biggest city of Glasgow. The ancient landmarks of Stonehenge and Hadrian's Wall may be situated far from major cities, but remain among the nation's most popular attractions.
