Flights to United Kingdom

It may seem like the other end of the earth, but the United Kingdom is one of the most popular European destinations for American tourists. Why? Some seem to think it is because they feel at home in the UK, but in a different setting. The United Kingdom is a unitary state made up of four countries: Scotland, Wales, England and Northern Ireland, and it is located off the north-west coast of continental Europe. If you can, take plenty of time to visit each capital of the countries forming the UK. Visit London, the capital of England and the UK, and home to monuments as famous as the Palace of Westminster, Tower Bridge, the Tower of London and Big Ben. Then move west to Cardiff, the capital of Wales and most visited city in the country. Travelling north-east you will come to the charming city and capital of Scotland, Edinburgh, with its medieval streets, castle, captivating architecture, shops and great restaurants. Edinburgh is sure to please anyone. Hop across the pond and land in Belfast, the capital of Northern Ireland which is renowned for its political wall murals and being hometown to Titanic. However, Northern Ireland's real treasure is its north coast where you can see the famous rock formation known as the Giant's Causeway.
