NORTHERN EUROPE, SCANDINAVIA &
BALTIC RUSSIA: Plymouth
| Overview | |
| Plymouth is without a doubt one of the most exciting
cities in England. Located on the border between Devon and Cornwall, it is a
cultural haven of arts, history, recreation, and entertainment. It is a city
that can be enjoyed all year round, but the tourist seasons are spring and
summer. Today, the town lays claim to being the birthplace of many great
historians and explorers who brought England's charm to the Americas. Much
of New England was founded by Plymouth's own, and the city pays tribute to
them by preserving their homes and birthplaces, and recalling their history
in the form of landmarks that allow visitors the chance to appreciate their
deeds. The pastoral feel of the city mixes quite brilliantly with the bustle of its urban backdrop, creating an interesting and appealing mélange of city and countryside. Visitors know Plymouth as a fairytale-like place. This is the stuff of paintings and fiction, brought to life by this fishing town, where you can walk through beautiful and quaint villages where thatched roof houses sit beside lush greenery. Yet Plymouth has all of the amenities of modern day Europe. You may choose to spend your day hopping buses around the city; partaking in its many attractions. Or, you could opt to spend your time peacefully soaking up nature in one of Plymouth's protected and magnificent parks. Still, you may want to window shop for antiques and trinkets and pass your time sampling cuisine at the cafés sprinkled throughout the shopping district. Whatever your taste, Plymouth has a wide array of activities and events that will engage you and leave you in admiration of its charm and class. |
