For travelers looking to get a taste of Europe, the United Kingdom (UK) may be one of the best places to soak in some culture. England is steeped with enough history to satisfy any visitor looking to learn more about some of Europe's oldest traditions and attractions, according to iExplore.
Stonehenge, located in the English countryside, is one of the world's greatest remaining mysteries. The structure has been standing for approximately 5,000 years. Researchers believe that the area, which now attracts thousands of curious visitors each year, once served as a burial ground. Although it may be off the beaten path, travelers are encouraged to visit the site.
London, England, is also home to the site of Shakespeare's original Globe Theater. Although the theater itself has been recreated, visitors can envision the performances of Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet and Twelfth Night that were first performed at the historical location.
Although a number of the most thrilling attractions in the UK can be found in the London area, visitors are encouraged to explore the countryside in a small adventure travel group as well.
