United Kingdom Christmas Holidays

Despite the potential for chilly weather, Christmas holidays in the UK can be pretty magical. London is lit up like a Christmas tree at this time of year, with festive window displays and twinkly lights at every turn. And when it comes to culture, you’re spoilt for choice, with an endless number of excellent restaurants, art galleries and theatres where you can while away the dark afternoons for a few hours. Edinburgh and Belfast are both great picks for city breaks too, with beautiful old buildings and bustling breweries. If you want to spend your Christmas holidays in the UK in the countryside, there’s beachy Cornwall, the wild Welsh coast or charming Cotswolds where we can recommend the best hotel hideaways and festive activities for a cosy getaway.

"Our Original Travel trip to London, Edinburgh and Dublin was wonderful. The drivers and guides were courteous, knowledgeable and exceeded our expectations. The highlights of our trip were the guided tour of the British Museum and attending an Arsenal football match."

"Our tour guides and drivers were extremely friendly, knowledgeable and very representative of England and Scotland. We can't thank you enough for all of your help & expertise throughout this process. In addition, during the trip there were wonderful little things (from being told congratulations during check in, to the flower petals on the bed at the Bloomsbury, and the hand written note at Fonab) that made this such a memorable trip and wouldn't have happened without you. "
