Where Should I go: Scotland or Flanders?
Scotland
The enchanting country of Scotland is made of rolling hills, lush scenery, charming villages and pubs filled with think accents and strong pints.
This country is a part of Great Britain - also known as the United Kingdom - which includes England, Wales and Northern Ireland. So be careful not to refer to the Scottish as "British," and especially avoid referring to them as "English." Just being aware of the difference will make your trip much smoother.
This lively and friendly country has gained a reputation for being dreary and damp. Well, the latter might true, it doesn't stop the Scots from having a grand time. Still, prepare to experience plenty of rain on your trip.
With over 700 islands and 5 million people, you'll have no problem finding stunning scenery and delightful conversation.
Flanders
The Northern region of Belgium, commonly known as Flanders, is a popular destination for travelers. It includes well-known cities like Antwerp, Brussels, Ghent and Bruges. It is the Dutch-speaking region of Belgium and has many sights and historical attractions to see.
