The ancient city of Canterbury is so steeped in history and packed full of interesting sights that it can be hard not to miss anything on your trip. If you only have one or two days to spare, here are the top sights you should make sure you see before you go.

Canterbury Cathedral

Located at the city’s center and looming over the surrounding rooftops, Canterbury cathedral is hard to miss. Nevertheless, it is definitely worth a proposer visit. Walk around the grounds and take a look inside this magnificent architectural work.

Harry Potter Shop

Nestled in the narrow winding street below the cathedral is the shop devoted to all things Harry Potter. Harry Potter fans can find anything their hearts desire.

Dunking Stool

As you walk down the main street you can see an old witches’ dunking stool. It was used in the Middle Ages to try and discover witches!

Canterbury Gardens

The city has some lovely walled gardens located just outside the main shopping area. They have shaped bushes and foliage, a running water stream, and perfectly mown lawns in the English style.

Can you guess how many red tulips are on this picture? 10? 22? 46..or…? Comment below! Now, shall we head over to beautiful Canterbury, Kent? It's a gloriously sunny Spring day here in Britain today and although we are staying home, it's well worth it to keep safe so we can enjoy views like this again. Love this by @constantinamoi . This ancient city, famous throughout the world, known and loved by Dickens features largely in David Copperfield , ". . . the sunny street of Canterbury, dozing as it were in the hot light . . . the sight if its old houses and gateways, and the stately, grey Cathedral, with the rooks sailing round the towers". And of course the setting for the famous The Canterbury Tales, a collection of 24 stories that runs to over 17,000 lines written in Middle English by Geoffrey Chaucer. I've mentioned that before as it makes me seem very, very smart when I do. The reality is I just dropped my precious Tip Tree jam on the floor and now what am I to spread on my toast?! . This is thought to be England’s most historic river. Certainly in Roman and medieval times the river was a major transport route, connecting Canterbury with mainland Europe. As you would expect, everything has a long and flowing history in good old Blighty. The name Stour has existed since A.D. 686, thanks to those cheeky invading Saxons. After flowing through Canterbury the river becomes tidal and eventually enters the sea at Pegwell Bay, close to the site of the landing of the first Christian mission to southern England, St Augustine, in 597 AD . Have a beautiful, peaceful and safe Sunday… Great shot by @constantinamoi 🇬🇧 To be featured, follow and tag us. 'Ta very much! 🇬🇧

The Danish capital is steeped in intellectual history and is home to a number of interesting philosophical monuments. Here is a guide to 5 curious pilgrimage spots in Copenhagen for the bookish tourist.

Assistens Cemetery

This peaceful cemetery is found just off from Carlsburg station. It is home to the graves of Copenhagen’s most beloved writer, Hans Christian Anderson, and the city’s most accomplished philosopher, Soren Kierkegaard. You can find busts of their faces and memorial plaques devoted to their illustrious memories.

Andersen’s Nyhavn

The picturesque pastel-colored houses at Nyhavn is the most photographed spot in the city. Number 20 was inhabited by Hans Christian Anderson when he wrote “The Princess and the Pea”, later moving into number 67. Today this is the Anderson cafe, where you can enjoy a traditional Danish lunch.

The Little Mermaid

Gazing out to sea by the old military fort is the famous sculpture of Anderson’s Little Mermaid.

Bredgade 70

Number 70 Bredgade is the old house of the famous philosopher Soren Kierkegaard. A renowned early 19th-century philosopher and theologian, the young Kierkegaard’s family nickname was “the fork” because he could skewer other people’s vulnerabilities.
