The United Kingdom is a union of four countries: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, each with its own history, traditions and culture. Once a great colonial empire, United Kingdom is trying to adjust to the changes that took place in the last 100 years. Among these changes, some of the most important ones are the falling of the empire, the reduction of its territory, and its diminished role in the modern world. However, United Kingdom’s development in the last decades has been a successful one and it shows the highly adaptive nature of this country. The United Kingdom is one of the world’s most popular tourist attractions due to the contrast that exists between its vibrant cities, with their great variety of attractions, and its beautiful and tranquil countryside. The agitated history of this country is visible throughout the United Kingdom, from Stonehenge and Oxford to Eton and London. The modern culture of the United Kingdom is one of the most influential in the world and it is a trendsetter in the world of music, art and fashion. If you visit this country once, you will be charmed by it and you will want to return again and again.
