It might be the medieval history that makes Europe seem so special. Or it could be the art that makes it so enchanting. Come to think of it, it might just be the mouthwatering food and drink found all over the continent.
Regardless, Europe is a dream destination for travelers the world over. No matter which corner of the continent you find yourself in, you are destined to fall in love.
But there's no place like the British Isles.
Ireland and Britain are unmatched in their ability to amaze, inspire and make one feel at home all at the same time.
The following are four (of many) reasons the British Isles are such a captivating place to visit. And with CIE Tours International currently offering 2-for-1 airfare*, there's no better time to book a trip.
The People
No matter where you go in the world, you will typically find friendly locals willing to help at a moment's notice, but conviviality is taken to the next level in Britain and Ireland. Ask for directions or a restaurant recommendation, and you will be met with a smile and all the details you need.
And the best part? You never have to worry about a language barrier getting in the way of bonding, so feel free to pull up a chair at the pub, order a pint and get to chatting.
The Landscapes
While you won't find mountains as tall as the Rockies on the British Isles, you will find a landscape so hauntingly beautiful that it has been used as the backdrop for everything from Star Wars to Game of Thrones.
The jagged coastline of these islands is stunning, and since most of the rolling hills and mountains of the British Isles require no special equipment to scale, walking has become the most popular way to explore the countryside. Don't be surprised at all if you catch the rambling bug after one stroll on an English coastal path or a walk up a Welsh mountain.
