MUSEUMS, EXHIBITS AND PARKS

Three London directories: And here are some traditional favorites:
Buckingham Palace
Care to visit the Queen?

Tower of London
The Royal Armouries, the Crown Jewels, history galore.

British Museum
World-famous collections of antiquities from Egypt, Western Asia, Greece and Rome, as well as Prehistoric and Romano-British, Medieval, Renaissance, Modern and Oriental collections.

The British Library
Formerly part of the British Museum, now housed separately. Home to illuminated Bibles, works of classic British authors, and one of the world's finest collections of printed and manuscript music.

The Millenium Done (so maybe this one's not so traditional)
The new complex on the Thames that will be open for the year 2000

Royal Parks of London
8000 acres of park lands in the city of London including Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens among others

Edinburgh Castle
A great place to view the city, both past and present

Old Town of Edinburgh
The heart of the city

The Scotch Whiskey Heritage Center
Ever wonder how that stuff is made?


LONDON THEATER

Three directories (thank you, Guillermo) Shakespeare's Globe


A FEW ABBEYS, CHURCHES AND CATHEDRALS
