More at: Barcelona - Capital City of Catalunya, Barcelona - Las Ramblas, Barcelona - Sagrada Familia, Barcelona - Parc Guell

Cardiff

Cardiff, in south Wales, has re-invented itself as one of Britain’s most buzzing, young-at-heart and stylish cities. It’s a rapidly-evolving, vibrant and fascinating place for a short break, so come and see what it’s like keeping up with the Joneses - Tom was brought up near here, and Shirley Bassey’s a local girl.

Edinburgh

The location of Edinburgh - capital of Scotland and a World Heritage Site - is spectacular, with the castle high on its rock, views over the River Forth, elegant architecture and its own extinct volcano, Arthur’s Seat - described by thriller writer Ian Rankin as "a natural wonder, a wilderness in the middle of a city." A favourite Edinburgh pastime, beloved of students and others, is to climb to its summit to see the sun rise over the sea. More at: Edinburgh: Scotland's festival capital,

* Getting to Edinburgh Edinburgh Zoo, Edinburgh Book Festival, Edinburgh International Festival

Glasgow

Glasgow is one of Europe’s most important cultural centres, a heady mix of grand Victorian and sensuous art nouveau, and wonderful museums, galleries and concert halls. See: Glasgow: Scottish gem

Liverpool

Look lost in Liverpool and someone like Terry Allen is likely to appear at your elbow. He's one of a team of Navigators employed by Liverpool City Council. Want to see pre-Raphaelites art? The Walker Art Gallery is just by the station, and all its Victorian grandeur comes free. Anfield football stadium, home of Premier Division Liverpool Football Club? A ticket may be hard to get hold of, but anyone can go on a tour of the dressing rooms. More at: Liverpool: 'Culture Capital' on the Mersey

Lisbon

"We drove over Lisbon yesterday in a blazing heat and saw the Church of St Vincent, and the Botanical Gardens where palms and prickly pears and huge cactuses were growing, and enormous oleanders covered all over with the richest red blossom ..." More at: Lisbon 1859

London

London is matchless for its impressive range of landmarks. World-wide, few people would mistake the location of Tower Bridge, Buckingham Palace, Big Ben or Trafalgar Square, for example. Read on:

Madrid

Madrid, the capital of Spain, is a charming city, rich in culture and, at night it really rocks! Madrid Spain - Take A Tour Of A City That Rocks

NewcastleGateshead

Lying close to England’s north-eastern coast, the two cities sit side by side, divided only by the River Tyne. This is a great place for walking around and exploring. First head down to the Quayside area, for a view of the Gateshead Millennium Bridge (it closes like a winking eye to allow ships to pass), meander amongst the street art and perhaps enjoy a light lunch in one of the bars or restaurants. Read: NewcastleGateshead: Lively home of the 'Geordies'

Paris

Paris, the French capital and Eurodisney (Disneyland Resort Paris) provide some unique experiences. CityBreakaways provide some excellent deals. More at: Paris and Eurodisney

Weimar

"Thanks to the kindness of a soldier we got inside the palace, and saw the rooms where Goethe lived so much with the Grand Duke and Duchess." Read: Weimar 1865

The Rough Guide to Britain
by Robert Andrews, Jules Brown, Rob Humphreys, Phil Lee, Donald Reid
  If ever a nation were both hostage to and beneficiary of its history, it's Britain. The single most important thing to remember when travelling here is that you're visiting not one country, but three: England, Wales and Scotland. For visitors foreign and domestic, that means contending with three capital cities (London, Cardiff and Edinburgh) and three sets of national identity - not to mention the myriad accent shifts as you move between them.
