Trends / Unique Itineraries & Tours

Instead of packing a book on your next trip, take a literary-themed vacation and make the words jump off the page. From author’s scenic hideaways to novel locations, these trips will excite your inner bookworm. Read accompanying novels on the way to your destination and don’t forget to take plenty of pictures.

 

Take a trip to Charles Dickens’ house at 48 Doughty Street in London. This historic house and museum is where the famous author penned Oliver Twist. Although he was allegedly paid by the word, Dickens produced monumental works, such as Great Expectations and A Tale of Two Cities. Pay homage to this great writer at his museum.

 

For a less structured — though just as inspired — trip, take a self-guided tour of the area that inspired Charles Dickens. This self-guided London Walks tour is a novel way to explore the city. Stop by for another afternoon and take the Sherlock Holmes- themed tour — visit a re-creation of the great detective’s study.

 

Instead of just burying your nose in a book, make your next vacation literature-inspired. These book-themed trips may just inspire your inner writer. It’s elementary, my dear Watson!
