I have an opportunity to travel overseas to one of these places, which should I choose?
I have this amazing opportunity to travel abroad through my college. This will be my first time being anywhere but America. We will be here for about 8 days. Here are the choices:
London
Ireland (Dublin, Belfast)
Spain (Toledo, Madrid, Salamanca)
Scotland (Edinburg)
Any recommendations?
Extraneous notes: I am really into antiques/old buildings/ancient ruins. I like warm weather. I love travelling, so any of these would be a win for me.
My favorites of those listed are Madrid (for the art museums which are incredible, plus Spain will be a little warmer) and Edinburgh (for everything else). I used to live in Edinburgh, and it's a fantastic place to explore if you love old buildings. The "new" part of the city is 200-300 years old, and Old Town is much older. The surrounding scenery is beautiful (climbing Arthur's Seat is a must). It's a great combination of atmosphere, history and a lively nightlife. Scots are also very friendly and welcoming. The only downside is that the weather can be unpleasant, especially in winter.
I recommend reading through city guides (Wikitravel is good for listing what to do in each place) and choosing the one that seems most interesting to you.
