Planning a trip to England is a fun opportunity to organize a culturally enriching and exciting experience.  Most people who have never been to England before have stereotypes in their minds of how they imagine the trip will play out, however, there’s no way to truly know England based only on hearsay and speculation.

Once you are actually there, you will find yourself charmed and full of love for one of the most famous countries in the world.  Here are some of the best tips for making sure that you have the best trip possible.

Consider Renting a Car

England is full of all sorts of beautiful back roads and winding streets which are sometimes remote.  Having a car gives you the opportunity to be able to get around freely without having to worry about making train connections or battling crowds on a hot stuffy tube.

A car can be affordable depending what kind of deal that you find.  Be sure to research which companies offer the most competitive rates during the dates that you’re looking for.

Just make sure that you familiarize yourself with how to drive on the opposite side of the road as they do in this part of the world.  Otherwise, you may find yourself getting into a car accident on your vacation which was supposed to be stress-free.

Bring Plenty Of Money

A lot of people traveling to England for the first time don’t realize how much stronger the pound is than their local currency.  They end up spending much more money than they anticipate, resulting in running out of money before the end of their trip.

Since the pound is often so much stronger than many currencies, it’s important to plan accordingly by bringing plenty of funds.  If you don’t have a lot of money, you may want to consider postponing the trip until you’ve saved enough to feel comfortable with.

Try The Local Cuisine

Even though English food had a bad reputation for a long time, they’ve certainly evolved over the years and are now known for some of the best food in the world.

It would be a crime to skip over trying some delicious standard English meals while on your trip.  You may be surprised to find that you adore English food after all!

Anticipate Jet Lag

Depending on where you live, you may experience a pretty significant time difference from home.  Even though you may be anxious to fall asleep and take a nap, it’s important that you stay awake for as long as possible.

You’ll adjust to the new time much faster if you force yourself to function during the day hours when you would normally be asleep.
