Escaping the Olympics

The Olympics are coming and for many people living in and around London not in a nice way. That's why escaping the madness can be a great way to kill two birds with one stone. Getting out of London during what are most likely going to be and extremely frantic time. However, that said you don't need to even go abroad to go somewhere you can enjoy yourself.

There are plenty of great places in the UK to get out and about and you may not have been to many of them before. Here are some of our favourite suggestions.

Edinburgh

Getting to Edinburgh can be done by plane or also by train - it's in fact one of the nicest train rides you'll do in a while. Why not get yourself an advance train ticket now and get some Edinburgh deals for a hotel and prepare your escape to the most English of Scottish cities.

Edinburgh is a beautiful place and when you see the old town you realise why where much of the inspiration for Harry Potter came from. The beautiful old buildings and wonderful views of the castle from all around the town make it a glorious place to just visit and walk around.

However, if you're more inclined to head out and about, it really is a great place for a night on the town. The city is quite demure until the weekend when the area of Grassmarket fills up with people looking for some fun and frolics. Of course, the infamous Fringe festival is also a great time to visit and take in the culture and also head out and about. It really is a great city and certainly worth a tip, especially with Edinburgh deals.

Manchester

One of the coolest cities in the country and a great place if you're looking to receive an introduction to pop culture, coolness and the general Manc way.

Manchester is of course famed for its music credentials and so is a great city to catch new bands in. It's also not too far from London, meaning a quick train up and away from the hustle and bustle of the Olympics. Manchester deals also offer a great way to go low cost to the city and take advantage of its activities.

Whether you want to come to see a Premiership match, or are more interested in seeing the famed shopping streets of the city, the Olympics is the time to come. The city itself also has numerous excellent museums, including the Imperial War Museum or the Manchester Transport Museum. Both give an insight into what made this once major industrial city one of the steam rooms of the Empire. So, whether for football, shopping or culture, get a Manchester deal and head right on up.

Birmingham

Another midland getaway for those looking to escape the millions of London visitors the summer is set to hold. Going away to Birmingham offers a welcome retreat from that of London.

Why not take in some shows or exhibitions at the NEC or see the city's Art Gallery or Science Museum - both of which are quite impressive. Of course Cadbury World is also worth a look, especially if you are of the chocolate loving persuasion.

Birmingham also offers some great shopping centres and the Bullring is renowned for its array of shops and services - ideal for a quick weekend break so. The city also has more miles of canal than Venice, as well as numerous other attractions such as Safari Parks and though inland The National Sea life centre.
