Stratford-upon-Avon

Stratford-upon-Avon is a tourist town renowned for Shakespeare, as it is the birthplace of the great playwright. Nestled by the River Avon and surrounded by hills and water, the town boasts an elegant environment and is steeped in the literary essence of Shakespeare throughout its long history.

The town is exquisite, beautiful, graceful, and captivating, with distinctive streets and architecture that catch visitors' eyes. Shakespeare was born in this ancient and elegant town in 1564. The streets are old and narrow, lined with traditional half-timbered buildings arranged in a charmingly haphazard fashion. A clear little river meanders slowly through the town, creating a tranquil, harmonious, and somewhat classical landscape. Though small, the town is ancient, classical, refined, and rich in literary atmosphere, free from any trace of the noise and restlessness of a modern city.

There are many Shakespeare-related buildings in Stratford-upon-Avon: the Shakespeare Restaurant, the Shakespeare Pub, the Shakespeare Museum, and more. The essence of literature can be felt in every corner of the town. When you visit, be sure to explore Shakespeare’s former residence to learn about the living and creative environment of this great dramatist and poet, and to experience the depth and wonder of literature.
