The experiences of Iranian travelers in England

England is not a country that needs to be defined. It is one of the most advanced countries in the world, which is considered an attractive and special tourist destination in terms of historical and scenic monuments, museums, and wonderful nature. But in today’s article, we are not going to talk about the sights of England, but we have provided you with the experience of traveling to England by one of the Iranian travelers in England, which creates a better view of this trip.

The best British cities for Iranian travelers

Choosing the best cities in England may be a matter of taste. I have only visited the city of London and I think it is the best city in England, especially for the first time. Endless accommodation options, wide and convenient public transport options, and most importantly, London’s huge number of attractions that may not be possible to see all in one trip are all reasons that make London the best place to visit. Experience traveling to England. Of course, as far as I know, after London, Manchester and Cambridge also have many fans.

Types of travel routes to England

The most common way to get to England is by plane. As far as I have researched, traveling to England can be done in both direct and indirect ways. The direct route to London is only operated by Iran Air, and considering that there are no flights for so many days, it might be more difficult to use it. On the other hand, other companies offer indirect flights, which usually have one and sometimes two stops, and the stop depends on the airline company, for example, Turkish Air stops in Istanbul or FlyDubai stops in Dubai airport, which does not make much difference. In terms of time, the direct flight takes more than 6 hours. In a non-direct flight, you have a delay of at least 3 hours and you should count on more than 9 hours. Considering all these issues, we had a flight with Turkey and there was no problem in this regard.

The experience of applying and receiving visas for Iranians

The most difficult part of the experience of traveling to England is this part. It is not easy for us Iranians to get a British visa like in many countries and it has small and big problems. This strictness makes the whole process seem a bit confusing and on the other hand, if the documents are incomplete, it is easy to be rejected. To get this visa, you need an invitation letter or important reasons that show that you will definitely return to Iran. These reasons can be a full-time and official job or, for example, a business license or real estate and something like these. Besides that, sufficient financial resources and a series of other translated documents are also needed. I preferred to leave the whole process to Star Vank Travel Agency and the result turned out well. In addition, it took about 4 weeks to receive the visa answer, which luckily I had applied on time.

Familiarity with British cuisine

If I want to be honest, British and European food is not even close to our own delicious food, but food experience is one of the most important parts of traveling to England and you should not miss it. On the other hand, London is full of multinational foods, so for example, you can easily find falafel, burrito, and shawarma on the street, and in short, there is nothing lacking. But if I want to talk about my experiences about English food, one of the most delicious is fish and chips, which was delicious and attractive at the same time, and the famous full English breakfast, which although you can find it in our own cafes, but experiencing it in a cafe in the heart of London He had himself.

The cost of Iranian travelers traveling to England

Well, first of all, I must say that the amount of your expenses, whether in the experience of traveling to England or in any other place, depends on you more than anything else, and it is not possible to announce a specific cost for everyone. For example, it depends on you whether it is important for you to see more of the country or you want to experience a luxury trip. You want to reduce costs by staying in a hostel, or you want to stay in a good, high-end hotel, you want to travel by taxi, or you don’t have any problems using public transportation. In short, all of this affects the cost of travel. Let’s just skip the travel time and season, which can change the prices completely. Anyway, according to my research, I am telling the average of the problems that I encountered and I planned the trip according to these costs.

The first and most important thing is the cost of accommodation. The cost of the hotel depends strongly on the location of the hotel and its number of stars (and again the travel time). On average, the price of a hostel or budget hotel is around 40 to 100 pounds, for normal hotels you have to spend between 100 and 200 pounds, and luxury options and those that cost more than 200 pounds. To choose a hotel, the best advice is to go to the booking site and read the reviews about the options to choose more easily.

Travel costs

The next important expense of the UK travel experience is commuting to different parts of the city, which can cost a lot if you’re not careful. The cost of a taxi is expensive, and for example, in the case of London, due to the existence of various public transportation options, there is really no need for a taxi. There is a card called oyster card, by purchasing and charging it, you can use various services such as metro, bus and tram at a discount, and it is really helpful. I got the same card myself on arrival at London airport which only costs £7 and you have to top it up for various things which even offers discounts for tourists at attractions and a few special restaurants. Meanwhile, the cost of the subway is about 3 to 5 pounds, depending on the distance you travel.

Well, traveling without food experience is meaningless. The cost of food is very important along with the previous two items, and with a little savings, you can make the experience of traveling to England sweeter (and more economical). If you buy food from street vendors or settle for fast food chains (such as McDonald’s) and small restaurants, a meal costs between £5 and £15. Medium and ordinary restaurants cost between 20 and 50 pounds. For example, I bought an Italian pizza from a takeaway for about 12 pounds, or a burger cost me 9 pounds, I tried a series of street foods such as simple sandwiches or burritos and even falafel, which cost between 5 and 9 pounds. became Of course, you can have a light and inexpensive meal by buying food from the supermarket.

The cost of tourist attractions

Sights in London are not cheap and you need to plan them more carefully. I can say that to visit museums and sights in London, you should set aside at least 20 euros for the ticket. Of course, there are also packages where, for example, you pay a fee and visit some attractions with a discount, which I personally did not go to. I visited the roof of the O2 in London which had a fantastic view and the ticket cost €42 and Buckingham Palace was one of my favourites.
