The United Kingdom, formed by the union of four countries—England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland—is renowned as the birthplace of many historical events and has also been a hotbed for the development of industrial and scientific technologies.
It is also famous as the land where masterpieces such as Sherlock Holmes and the works of Shakespeare were born.
The country boasts 21 cultural heritage sites registered on UNESCO’s World Heritage List—from the Paleolithic era through the Middle Ages to modern times—and 5 natural heritage sites, offering an abundance of attractions.
