14 days in London & Edinburgh Itinerary

Vibrant and noisy, London is one of the world’s leading cities, an international capital of culture, education, fashion, music, finance, trade, and politics.

Visit Stonehenge and St. Paul's Cathedral for their historical value. Step out of London with an excursion to Salisbury Cathedral and Magna Carta in Salisbury--about 2h 15 min away. There's still lots to do: take in the spiritual surroundings of Westminster Abbey, ponder the world of politics at Houses of Parliament, contemplate the long history of Tower of London, and admire the masterpieces at National Gallery.
