First trip abroad as a couple. Had been there before but great to explore together. Went to Edinburgh Castle for the first time and the view was incredible. The trams around the city and to the airport was super reliable and the food while expensive was delicious.

I lived there for 3 months as a research stay at the OU. I loved the parks everywhere in the city, and enjoyed walking and cycling around. I really loved more traditional areas like Simpson, Woughton on the green and Bletchley, and even if I did not really love the commercial area, I found some nice stores and there were many amazing restaurants all over the city. Public transport needs to be improved, but I managed to visit some lovely towns and cities like Olney, Coventry, Warwick and Saint...

This was amazing! Stayed at the campsite there and got to see the English countryside as well as surf. Easy access to food and rental boards and wet suits. The streets and the local pubs were very nice, and could recommend visiting clovelly which is about an hour drive. Actually could not have been better, 10/10🤩

I loved Scotland, as much for the landscapes as for the people. Everything was accessible by public transport, and there were so many things to visit. Hostels are affordable, and I met incredible people there from all over the world.

I loved London such a beautiful city with character and historical sites. We had really good weather which later on I knew is unusual cause it was sunny all week, I think the city was happy to welcome us. I’ve been there three times and I seriously consider to move permanently when I graduate.

Not as pretty as I imagined, well it was certainly not Paris! Really different style (no way huh?) I had difficulty with the public transport (money and names) I would suggest to use an Oyster card and City mapper (app), If you do use your bank card don't forget to put it on World and know It'll close off some of your money (for me it was like 25 € for each day I used the transport)😭 it'll give it back, I hope, cuz they have a daily/weekly fare cap(total). Other than that.... Natural history...

It was my first trip so far in my life!! It was also the first time I flew by plane! I was in London with my two best friends and it was the best time. London it’s a beautiful city with soul. I’m in love with architecture. However, the food did not convince me. I was also in Warner Bros Studio in the world of Harry Potter it was very magical experience!!

To be honest it wasn’t really an outside door traveling considering it was a formula 1 GP. But it was my first experience in an event so huge and I was alone so it was a unique feeling I had all along the weekend. It was so good, people were so nice and I enjoyed all of it !

I had a wonderful time in Belfast. The people are friendly, food was delicious, lots of shops and attractions. I generally felt pretty safe, though didn’t go out late at night since I don’t do that when I travel. I would definitely visit again.

Is United Kingdom safe for women?
London
It’s moderately safe. I am a woman and I walk alone a lot at night and I believe that you just kind of have to make sure that you’re checking your surroundings as there’s always gonna be people who want to do harm.

You definitely need to keep your wits about you during the day regarding your phone and belongings. At night be careful of men catcalling you and being creepy. They’ll do it even in super packed areas so just be careful please.

I am living in London since two years. It seems safe but always be careful during night time. Try to busy roads. Avoid any places where people are drinking out, at the road (not bar or pub) because it is sometimes scary.

I don’t personally have issues at night in Central London but my advice would be to walk in open spaces where there are lampposts at night. Some drunk men will try to talk to you but as long as you pretend they’re not there, you’ll be fine.

Pembrokeshire is a fairly safe place never had any issues personally just best to stay clear of walking alone at night close to pubs and super rural areas , also to be cautious of being at a train station at night ect

Canterbury is generally safe and welcoming. You need to be careful for your belongings but just like every other city. It is lovely to walk there during the day. Just avoid isolated places during the night.
