Our travel tips for England
“If you want to experience the picturesque landscapes of England up close, you should visit the breathtaking Cotswolds. The numerous, beautiful villages such as Castle Combe, Bibury or Chipping Campden with their cozy cottages will do the rest to enchant you.”

“Breakfast in England is anything but light. Bacon, eggs, sausages, mushrooms, baked beans and black pudding are simply part of it. However, depending on your personal preferences, you are welcome to say when ordering if there is something you don't want to eat.”

“Stonehenge is one of England's undisputed landmarks. However, if you want to get particularly close to the magical stone giants, you should book a guided VIP tour in good time. The significantly higher entrance fee is definitely worth it and guarantees you an unforgettable experience!
