Travelling opens up the world to us, and there are countless experiences for us to enjoy, all suited to different people and their interests. There’s plenty of stunning natural sights for nature lovers and rural explorers, and for the more metropolitan among us there are plenty of sprawling cities that offer plenty of thrills for the lovers of urban sprawl out there.

So, what are the best places to visit for the ultimate city trip? Let’s take a look at some of the best cities to visit for a holiday.

London

The capital of England has a huge amount to offer and is home to some of the most iconic sights in Britain. London has so many things to do and see that you could spend a week there and only begin to scratch the surface. There are scores of museums and art galleries, including the hugely popular National History Museum.
