Customizable Itinerary
Day 1
Bath – Finding Bath
Georgian architecture fills the city of Bath, lining cobbled streets and decorating lush parks. The aroma of blossoming flowers spills over iron wrought fences in the spring. In the winter the sidewalks are lightly dusted with snow. The city has an undeniable elegance winding around the canals. River cruisers meander through the cityscape around Roman hot springs and underneath church spires. You land in London, and are quickly whisked away to the enchantment of Bath, a city with the most historically recognized and preserved buildings in all of England.
When you arrive, you find the creamy complexion of bathstone bordering the streets, creating the foundation and structure of historic buildings. Quality local British shops fill Stall and Union Street, where the aroma of caramel accompanies the glistening shop windows of jewelry shops. The central streets resemble hanging gardens, with flowers dangling from gas lamps, and storefronts blossoming with rich hues against the cream colored stones. You settle in to your charming and luxurious accommodation set in the heart of the city.
