Eastern edge of Western Europe

Hello hello everyone!
Im looking for some tips. My boyfriend and I have tickets to London (from Australia)for Dec/Jan. We’re mainly going to see our families and friends in the UK (England and Scotland) and that’ll probably take up the bulk of the trip, but we wanted to see a bit of Europe while we’re there [...]
