Rick Steves’ Europe: Stratford-upon-Avon: To see or not to see?

Stratford-upon-Avon, the hometown of Shakespeare, offers numerous opportunities for Bardolatry, though those without literary interests might find the destination underwhelming. The town is accessible as a convenient side-trip from London. However, for visitors wishing to experience a theatrical performance, an overnight stay is recommended to fully enjoy the local offerings. The destination remains a primary hub for those seeking to explore the life and legacy of the famous playwright in England.
