Beyond the guidebooks: The top destinations defining UK travel in 2026.

The UK is small but incredibly diverse. You can drive for two hours and hear a different accent, see different architecture, and eat different food. Here are the spots you cannot miss in 2026.

London

The Pulse of the Nation

No UK trip is complete without London. In 2026, the city is greener and more pedestrian-friendly than ever. Visit the British Museum, walk the South Bank, and see a West End show.

Must Do: Sky Garden for free views of the city.

Edinburgh, Scotland

History & Festivals

Famous for its castle dominating the skyline and the world's largest arts festival in August. The medieval Old Town and Georgian New Town are UNESCO World Heritage sites.

Must Do: Hike up Arthur's Seat for a panoramic view.

The Lake District

Poetic Landscapes

A hiker's paradise. Beatrix Potter and William Wordsworth were inspired by these lakes and mountains. It's the perfect escape into nature.

Bath

Roman History & Regency Architecture

Home to the only natural thermal hot springs in Britain you can bathe in. Walk the same streets as Jane Austen characters.
