Ideas for Your Vacation

London: the word alone conjures up images of red double-decker buses, the Union Jack, and the Queen’s uniformed guards. You’re bound to see all three on this trip to the 2,000-year-old British capital. While you’re there, say hello to Big Ben and the River Thames, which bisects the city as it flows across England.

• Must-see attraction: The British Museum, home to some of the world's most historic artifacts, including the Rosetta Stone and the Parthenon Marbles.
• Grab a bite at one of London's more than 7,000 pubs, where you can fill up on pie and mash or fish and chips (be sure to dip your fries in vinegar).
• Tate Modern: Housed inside a former power station, this museum holds stunning modern and contemporary works by the likes of Andy Warhol and Mark Rothko.
• Shakespeare's Globe: Built on the spot where the original theater was destroyed in 1613, this replica hosts world-class renditions of the Bard's plays for sitters and discount-savvy standers (a.k.a groundlings).
• The London Eye: Get a bird's-eye view of the city and the Thames River from a glass-encased pod that rises more than 400 feet in the air.
• Act like royalty at Buckingham Palace, where you can catch the time-honored Changing of the Guard ceremony.

More than 1,000 years of history live in the cobblestone streets of Dublin, Ireland's capital city on the banks of the River Liffey. Medieval castles and cathedrals share the skyline with stately Georgian mansions and Trinity College, where you’ll find the medieval Book of Kells and an original copy of the Proclamation of the Irish Republic declaring independence from England. While you're strolling from one venerable institution to another, pop into a local pub—there are more than 1,000 to choose from—to enjoy a Guinness amid Irish music, stories, and world-renowned camaraderie.

• Chester Beatty Library: Located on the grounds of Dublin Castle, this library houses many priceless artifacts, including the first illustrated Life of the Prophet—a 16th-century Turkish epic about the life of Muhammad.
• Guinness Storehouse: Learn all about the 250-year-old brewery, from its history to its methods, on a tour that ends with a pint of the good stuff.
• Kilmainham Gaol: Tour the 19th-century prison that hosted some of Ireland's most famous revolutionaries within its cells, including the leaders of the 1916 Easter Rising.
• Dublin Castle: Tour this 13th-century Gothic castle to see former viceroys' apartments, one of the city's oldest medieval towers, and the remnants of a 1,000-year-old Viking fortress.
• Trinity College: Sign up for a student-led tour to see the handsome campus and the stunning Book of Kells, an illuminated manuscript from the Middle Ages.
• Temple Bar district’s pedestrian-friendly cobblestone streets are lined with buskers, boutiques, bohemian art galleries, and pubs. Visit the weekly farmers' market to sample artisan cheeses, homemade chocolate, and farm-raised lamb.
• Shop for wool sweaters or, as they call them in Ireland, “jumpers.” The prices are reasonable, the quality is high, and the wool typically comes straight from those sheep dotting the hills.
