Congratulations to The Royal Yacht Britannia 🇬🇧⚓✨ for being named the best tourist attraction in the world by Tripadvisor 👏

We’re not surprised at all, this iconic attraction remains one of our favourite experiences in Edinburgh. Once the former royal yacht of Queen Elizabeth II, Britannia sailed over one million miles during more than 40 years of royal service before finding its home in Leith.

Visitors can explore the State Apartments, Royal Bedrooms, and Engine Room, while also enjoying waterfront views and afternoon tea aboard the Royal Deck Tea Room ☕🌊

A must visit when exploring Edinburgh ✨📩 Discover more Scottish travel inspiration with Great British Trips: www.greatbritishtrips.com

Happy International Tea Day ☕🇬🇧 21st May

Tea is more than just a drink in Britain, it’s part of the culture. From morning brews to afternoon tea, Brits drink an estimated 100 million cups of tea every single day 👀

But what makes a proper British tea?
✔️ Freshly boiled water
✔️ Tea bag in first
✔️ Brew for 3 to 5 minutes
✔️ A splash of milk after brewing

Whether it’s enjoyed in a cosy countryside café or during afternoon tea in London, a cup of tea is always a good idea ✨
