England - Enjoy the British charm

For a small country, England has a lot to offer. With breathtakingly beautiful scenery, glorious beaches, and a whole lot of character, England should be at the top of everyone's bucket list. For example, you can visit the coast and cities in southern England or go to the center or north of the country. If you have a little more time, a combination of those three is of course even better.

And let´s not forget about London. The city has been the most popular destination among business travelers for years. The countless international companies, conference facilities, and the many travel options to London make the British capital the place to be for a successful business trip.

Naturally, in such a large, popular business city, many convention centers can be found, from small and intimate to large and crowded. The London ExCel International Exhibition Center is one of the best-known centers. Located in Royal Dock's district, about twenty minutes from the center, everything is possible here from meetings to special events. Fancy a snack or drink in between? For that, there are no fewer than 22 restaurants in the center!

Fly first class with British Airways

British Airways is the flag carrier of the United Kingdom and therefore real 'English pride'. British Airways has a large number of non-stop connections from London Heathrow to the USA and Canada. The great thing is that British Airways has its terminal at London Heathrow, making transfers efficient.

As you can imagine, travelers who fly in first-class or business will be served impeccably and enjoy exceptional comfort while flying.

Most beautiful places in England

Liverpool

Liverpool is traditionally known for its shipping and trade. Today, this bustling city is known for the Beatles and football. But there is more, much more. The Albert Dock has been on the rise since the 1980s. What was once a dilapidated harbor area is now Liverpool's hot spot. There are plenty of museums, modern bars, and hip restaurants on the Mersey River. Apart from the museums on the Albert Dock, The Walker Gallery (with works from Rembrandt to Matisse) and the World Museum (Animals and Civilization) are worth a visit. The city center is so small that you can easily reach everything on foot. It is also difficult to get lost because the city is full of clear signage.

Newquay, Cornwell

Due to its convenient location, Cornwell lifts on the warm airflow from the Atlantic Ocean. As a result, it rarely freezes and subtropical plants have the chance to take root here.

Every day there is a band or artist somewhere on a stage.

York

In the north of England, you will find the medieval town of York. The city was founded by the Romans in 71 AD. However, in the area where York is located (Yorkshire), archaeological finds have been found that are more than 7 to 8 thousand years old. It is, therefore, no surprise that this city is full of historic and cultural wealth. For example, the city is surrounded by city walls that have been almost perfectly preserved until now. The town itself is a maze of cobbled lanes, traditional pubs, and churches. In the heart of the city, you will find York Minster, one of the world's most beautiful cathedrals, which is well worth a visit.
