One of the best things about travelling Europe might be just how close everything is! It is a famous spot to county-hop and experience a multitude of cultures in a short amount of time with minimal traveling. I definitely plan to explore a little when I study in the UK. There are plenty of opportunities even when simply staying on the island of Great Britain itself.
One city that will be close to me in Chester is Liverpool. A weekend in Liverpool would be fairly simple, as it's only a short train ride away! Tickets from Chester to Liverpool go for under $10, and it is less than an hour ride. There are many places to stay, as well, since it is a popular tourist destination. A simple search of hostels in Liverpool yields many highly rated hostels for under $20 a night. There are many places to eat in the city, including bars and clubs, cafes, and bistros. Like most big cities, it is easy to walk to most places, though for farther attractions there are cabs available.
One attraction near Liverpool that I personally would enjoy is the Knowsley Safari. You would have to take a cab to get there. It includes animal attractions, aerials courses, and many other fun things! An entry ticket for an adult equals about $25, plus any other added attractions. This would likely take up most of the day. Another fun thing to do in the city itself is the Beatles museum! There is also a farmer's market on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of every month. These activities in addition to just walking around and seeing the sights could easily take up the weekend!
