CHRISTMAS IN UK

Wants to experience UK this Christmas? Here's a few great UK destinations and find some (out of a thousand) ways to enjoy this festive season in this part of the world! Three of the most recommended cities to visit this Christmas are London, Manchester and Birmingham.

London needs little introduction…this capital of UK has the greatest concentration of major attractions in Britain and boasts four World Heritage Sites. There are 238 attractions, which are free to enter, and there's nowhere else in the world where you can see so much for so little. If you want to spend your Christmas in London, I’ve found three of the most popular ways to make your stay for the holiday a memorable one…first, because of the West End Christmas lights! In this season, London literally lights up! Those big stores on Oxford Street and Regent Streets shows up thousands of colorful Christmas lights that attracts thousands of tourists. Good thing…its free for all. You don’t need to give a single penny just to have this awesome experience. Second, you could attend the ever famous English National Ballet Christmas presentations that has been a tradition for over 50 years now. English National Ballet has been distinguished all over the world because of its creativity and world class performances and just recently included additional masterpieces such as Alice and Wonderland and The Nutcracker…what an awesome experience especially for kids (literally) and those kids at heart as well. Lastly, you could spend the day with your family in Christmas Ice Rinks just outside a museum, stately home or even a royal palace! Such a great experience to have your picture taken outside the great Hampton Court Palace – which has been a home for prominent King Henry VIII. And while youre there, why not explore the palace and get lost in the famous maze?

Next UK destination is Birmingham. The city offers many diverse activities this Christmas as well that are guaranteed to impress whatever your age or budget. Experience the stunning Canal boat light parade that starts from December 9 till Christmas wherein decorated boats will be winding their way from the National Indoor Arena to the Mailbox. This hugely popular annual celebration of Birmingham’s canal shows different boats adorned with thousands of lights and decorations as it glides through the Birmingham waters . You may want to dine in one of the many cafes and bars along the routes while watching the fascinating boat parade or just relax on the town path as the procession goes by. A romantic way to spend Christmas with your loved ones…

Last but not the least, you might also want to try celebrating this festive season in Manchester, England. Here you could visit the magical Manchester Christmas Markets in Albert Square, St Ann's Square, Exchange Street, New Cathedral Street and Brazennose Street. Amongst the best in Britain and Europe, the markets transform the city with their charming traditional wooden chalets. You cannot help but get into the Christmas spirit whilst browsing around the bustling stalls, soaking up the unique atmosphere beneath the twinkling lights with the aroma of hot chestnuts filling the air. Every year there are new attractions for visitors - the most recent being a 6m high Wolhnachtspyrymide (a giant German Christmas Pyramid with Nativity scene), which sits on top of the German Beer Tent and a magical Alpine House which is traditionally decorated and houses a giant multi-lingual talking reindeer! What a wonderful way to enjoy this event with the whole family!
