England is one of the most popular destinations for young Italians, both for the charm that London exudes and for the many opportunities offered in terms of entertainment, research, development, finance, and cultural scenes. The geographical location allows for a variety of landscapes and, consequently, different travel experiences in England: the English countryside is lovely and relaxing, a true spectacle of nature; the coasts are jagged and steep, like those of Cornwall, but also gentle and sandy like those of South West England. Not to mention the English castles, historic homes, lakes, and cottages that color the English landscape. England is the place where tradition and modernity aimed at the future merge and become a fascinating whole.
