Why We Love Travel to Britain

What do you travel for? To open your eyes to new places and experiences? For the exhilaration of unexpected encounters? To satisfy your hunger for culture--or maybe it’s straight-from-the-source, regional flavours you crave?

365 days a year, travel to Britain gifts lucky visitors with the experience they’re after. Not to mention, rewarding ones they didn’t expect. Prepare to be amazed by the diverse opportunities, activities and beauty of this multi-faceted and must-see destination. Great Britain travel leads to greater life experiences.

As Canadians, we love how relatively small Britain is to our vast land. A few short hours and fantastic train and road systems enable scenic access to other must-see British travel destinations. Those of us who love listening to Liam Gallagher, New Order, The Smiths, or those who admit to being hooked on Coronation Street, must make a stop in Manchester. If you're more of a Beatles fan, travel to London and take an iconic walk along Abbey Road, or better yet, why not visit the Fab Four's hometown of Liverpool? If London travel is on your radar, as it should be, consider making England's capital city the gateway for other British travel opportunities. Whether you are travelling to London for the first time, checking out Birmingham’s eclectic food scene, tracing your ancestral roots in York or ready to surf the crashing waves of Cornwall, enlist our expertise.

Britain’s indelible imprint on ancient civilization and modern culture attracts visitors from around the globe. Why not see more, with Flight Centre’s multi-city flights to Britain? It's like paying for a flight to London, and getting to Edinburgh and Glasgow for free! Or, fly to Manchester and we’ll arrange rail passes to Birmingham and beyond. But enough about why we love travel to Britain. Book our cheap flights to Britain and carefully-curated packages to discover it all for yourself.

When to go to Britain

Our favourite time to visit the UK is the spring. In April to June, famous English country gardens are in bloom, many Scottish guided tours begin, prices are lower and crowds fewer than the high tourist season.

Weather in Britain is at its finest during July and August. This also means peak tourist season, with higher hotel prices and denser crowds. Winter is the low season, with a spike in mid-December to early January due to Christmas and New Year. The winter season, while never too cold or snowy for Canadians, is full of light and cheer with a collection of holiday festivals and markets to experience throughout Britain.
