Edinburgh, London, Scandinavia and the Northern Lights — the top of the continent.
Northern Europe rewards those who come for the atmosphere rather than the guarantee of sun. Edinburgh is one of the most dramatically situated cities in the world. London is the most culturally dense city on earth and largely free to explore. Scandinavia has the highest quality of life, the most beautiful design culture and, in winter, the Northern Lights flickering over the snow.
