Would you like to visit Britain(英国)one day? Our country would like to welcome you!

Overseas travel can be expensive. But there are ways of visiting Britain cheaply. We hope that we can give you some good ideas.

When to come?

If you can avoid(避免)the busy months----July and August, your visit will becheaper.

There will be smaller numbers of visitors. British weather is pleasant from April to the end of September. Ofcourse,you can visit it in winter, but it is often dark by 4 p.m. Many places, such as large houses and castles(城堡),are closed early in winter. However, if you want to visitmuseums,or theaters,winter may be a good time to visit.

Be prepared.
