Top things to do in Chester Walk the Chester City WallsThe 2,000 year old Roman walls that encircle the city are the longest, most complete, and oldest, still standing in Britain today. A walk around the walls will take 45 minutes to an hour depending on how fast you walk and how often you stop. You can see the entire city from the walls, including the UK's oldest racecourse and the Eastgate Clock - one of the most photographed clocks in England. There’s a lovely place to stop by the river, where you can watch the boats float by while tucking into an ice cream.
Take centre stage at the Roman AmphitheatreThe Roman amphitheatre was the largest in Britain in its heyday, and even now you won’t see anything like this anywhere else in the UK. Only half of the theatre is visible, though, as the other half sits beneath a former convent and grade II listed building. But even this half-moon of the amphitheatre is impressive. Embrace your inner actor and feel as though you are performing on stage being watched by an audience, as you walk down and stand by the tethering stone, otherwise known as ‘the stone of death’.
Visit St John’s Church, the Original CathedralThe current Chester cathedral is a stunning building, but this smaller church at St John’s, which was the city's original cathedral, is something else. Founded in AD689 by the king of Mercia, the ancient ruins seem to flow seamlessly into the later 19th century part of the church. The latter is beautiful inside, but it is the ancient ruins that are truly awe-inspiring. High up on one of the historic walls you can see a medieval black wooden coffin bearing the words ‘dust to dust’. Apparently, it was placed there to plug a gap in the masonry, but the affect produces something quite eerie.
Places to eat and drink in ChesterRun by a couple from Turin, Valentina and Fabrizio, Da Noi is an intimate Italian restaurant whose tables are always full. The short seasonal menu features authentic north-west Italian food, and each and every item has its own wine pairing. The specifics of these regional dishes are something you won’t find anywhere else, and you can taste how thoughtfully these flavours have been assembled. Fabrizio is a charming host who clearly loves his position at front of house. All of these elements come together to make a trip to Da Noi a memorable experience.
Close to Grosvenor Park and hidden away down a quiet road away from the bustle of the city centre, The Forge entices diners who like to eat out in style. You’ll be encouraged to take a look in the meat fridge, where you can select your meat, but if you want a dish you can rely on, the venison is soft and succulent and falls from the bone. A cocktail trolley will be wheeled over to your

Halfway through my international journalism program at City, University of London, COVID-19 hit. I was forced to move back in with my parents in rural Wales for three months. I then made the impulsive decision to fly to any airport that would take UK travelers. I found myself on the last flight out to Belgrade, Serbia.
It may be hard to believe, but there’s a place in England where the sand is fine and white, the sea is turquoise blue, and the sun shines more than just about anywhere else in the country. In this dream-like place, you can surf, you can sunbathe (and even get a tan), you can hike coastal paths, valleys, and moors, and you can stuff you face with cream teas and pasties. You guess it, Cornwall, England, is a must-see when in Britain. Lucky for you, it’s only a direct train ride away from London.
For Americans traveling abroad, few countries are easier to navigate than Germany. Though not technically an English-speaking nation, you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone working in tourism who doesn’t speak English. The country has plenty of amazing places to visit, the cities are clean, and travel within the country is blissfully easy. Much of this is thanks to the system of German trains known as Deutsche Bahn: Germany national railway that connects visitors to pretty much anywhere in the country from anywhere else in the country.
