What's this trip about?

    From the Celts to the Vikings, many have inhabited what we now call Dublin, and when visiting, you should do your best to get a taste of that same way of life. Exploring museums and learning their history, letting yourself get a bit rowdy in a pub, or simply appreciating their way of life is a great way to understand Dublin. Up next is hilly Edinburgh! The raw highlands of Scotland may not be entirely present in a city like Edinburgh, but that city was build on that land. The strength of the people that once lived there echoes  through time in the history proudly displayed there, their music and art, and everything that remains of their royalty - including The King's official Edinburgh residence, The Palace at Holyroodhouse. With that royalty, we move on to London, the city where palaces are still guarded by the royal army, and every other street is lined with ancient bricks or is home to a landmark. In a place where architecture is among the main attractions, seeing it all from the London Eye is quite the sight, one you surely wouldn't miss.
