You can count on Rick Steves to tell you what you really need to know when traveling in Great Britain.

With this guide, you€ll explore the misty isle of Great Britain, from lively London to the lush green fields of Wales and the craggy beauty of the Scottish Highlands. Wander the sheep-dotted hillsides of the Lake District, and stroll the promenade at the kitschy beach resort of Blackpool. On Edinburgh€s Royal Mile, ask a proud Scot about the local whisky. Trace Britain€s history from prehistoric Stonehenge to Roman Bath, and from tout Welsh castles to Shakespeare€s Stratford-upon-Avon. After a busy day of sightseeing, relax at a neighborhood pub, sharing a chat and a pint with a friendly local.

Rick€s candid, humorous advice will guide you to good-value hotels, B&Bs, and restaurants in big cities and small villages. You€ll learn how to travel by train, bus, or car and discover which sights are worth your time and money. More than just reviews and directions, a Rick Steves guidebook is a tour guide in your pocket.
