]]>Kick off your journey at Shakespeare’s Birthplace in the heart of this charming town. Wander through the well-preserved Tudor home where the Bard was born and passed his childhood years. It’s history you can literally stand in.
Next up, explore the idyllic cottage where Shakespeare’s wife, Anne Hathaway (not the actress), grew up. Set on 90 acres, this 12-room gem was restored by the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust to its original glory and is now a museum. The surrounding gardens are perfect for a stroll back in time.
Head to London’s Globe Theatre, where Shakespeare’s masterpieces dominated the stage in the late 1500s. The current building is in fact a recreation of the original playhouse, destroyed in 1644. It was then rebuilt with 16th-century techniques, restoring the magic of his plays (or at least, trying to).
Visit Banqueting House, the last remnant of Whitehall Palace. Here, you can stand right where Shakespeare’s company performed for royalty. Imagine watching one of his iconic plays just like King James did in 1611.
End your journey back in Stratford-Upon-Avon at Holy Trinity Church, where Shakespeare is buried. Walk along the greenery-filled path to his grave, where a small donation lets you stand before the Bard’s final resting place. Make sure you don’t miss the curse inscribed on his tombstone.

]]>The melodies of Fado, Portugal’s traditional music, open up the door to the Portuguese soul. Fado is melancholic and has very poetic tunes. The Portuguese people are very emotional and have a complex history. Their songs usually tell stories of love, loss, and longing. Many cities have Fado clubs where you can enjoy live performances with dinner or a glass of wine.
No trip to Portugal is complete without a glass of Port wine. A fun activity can be planning a trip to the Douro Valley, where this iconic wine is produced. You can tour the wine cellars, learn about the winemaking process, and, of course, try the rich and complex flavors of Port wine.
The heart of any culture lies in its food, so why not try to make something yourself? There are classes all over the country where you can learn to make pastéis de nata (custard tarts) or cataplana (seafood stew). And of course, once you’re done cooking, enjoy the fruits of your labor.
