Here are the absolute best cities to visit in the UK.
1. Bath
The city dates back to Romanesque times. In one of Britain's most beautiful cities, Bath boasts a vibrant culture. History buffs will enjoy the Roman remains of ancient viaducts, canals, and other Romanesque sites. Interestingly, the RMS Titanic was built in the once very famous port city of Bath. People regularly visited Bath to take a dip in the warm water. It's still a great destination for beach vacationers.
2. Cambridge
The city of Cambridge is steeped in history. The town's medieval alleys, beautiful old churches and chapels, secluded colleges, old-fashioned pubs, and narrow cobbled streets are a dream. The recently introduced coffee bar culture takes it to another level. College students stride in modern attire, but if you close your eyes, you see an older student in a hooded robe with a jute rope dangling a book from his back.
3. Edinburgh
Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, is an exciting destination for those who love history and architecture.

4. London
The capital may be a thriving metropolis of 32 arrondissements, but it is a historic gem. The city has been through thousands of years of history-a bloody one too! Kings murdered or exiled; wars over the throne; royal imprisonments; frequent flag changes—London is the epitome of this history. Don't miss exploring Westminster Abbey, Windsor Palace, Big Ben, and other historic landmarks. You will be overwhelmed by the vibrancy of London. This city alone is worth the effort of getting a UK visa.
5. The Lake District
The Lake District has 1,287 square kilometers of stunning landscape dotted with lakes. Lush green meadows are dotted with 12 crystal clear lakes that are incredibly tranquil. This lake is the largest in the UK (Windermere and Ullswater are the largest). And 3,218 kilometers of hiking trails dot dense forests, valleys, scenic meadows, springs and streams. Simply heaven. Climb to the top of Scafell Pike, England's highest peak at 978m.
6. Canterbury
Historic Canterbury in Kent is a short train ride from London. It was here that the first conversions to Christianity took place when St. Augustine began to convert the pagan Anglo-Saxons in 597 AD. In that sense, Canterbury is like a pilgrimage site for people all over the country. Canterbury Cathedral is home to the Archbishop of Canterbury and is a very fine cathedral.

Not far from bustling London, quiet and beautiful Salisbury is home to one of the world's greatest attractions, Stonehenge.
