[FONT=&#48148] In the UK, there are many historical places to visit. And each building has its own story.
It’s a little pleasure you can enjoy during a trip.

Is the underlined correct?

Try:

(No.)

What about this?

It’s a little pleasure you can enjoy during a trip.
=> It’s a small pleasure you can enjoy during a trip.
 
Perhaps:

Visiting those places is a pleasurable experience for a history buff like me.
 
How about:

You get to enjoy places by learning about stories about their past, and this is the interesting part about travelling.

Don't you say "small pleasure"? If you do, I don't have to change the sentence.
Or what about the following?

a subtle pleasure, a pleasure in a small way
 
The phrase "small pleasure" is not familiar to me. I guess it's not terrible though.

You can just just say you enjoyed the experience. You don't have to say you enjoyed it in a minor way.
 
I wouldn't say that "the little pleasures in life" (that is a phrase I recognise) includes visiting historical places. Those little pleasures are things like having a long hot bubble bath, with a glass of wine and candles, or sitting alone under a tree reading a book.
 
The "little pleasures" are also called niceties.
