After living in the UK for 5 years, there are 7 places I always tell tourists to visit

• One of my favorite spots is the Cotswolds, home to picturesque cottages and cozy pubs.
• I also recommend visitors check out the cafés in Brighton and the architecture in Oxford.

Visiting the Cotswolds feels like stepping onto a movie set.

My favorite beach town in the UK is Weston-super-Mare.

I like visiting Bath for glimpses of ancient architecture.

Liverpool also houses the Tate Liverpool, a contemporary art museum located right on the water. Although the main gallery is set to reopen in 2027, visitors can still check out two smaller galleries nearby and take part in activities, including creative workshops and tours.

Fans of the Beatles can also check out two museums paying homage to the band, as the group was formed in Liverpool.
