Canterbury Attractions

There are loads of Canterbury attractions and it really depends on what you are interested in. With a city steeped in so much history, you cannot fail to have lots of things to see and do. So to help you navigate through all of this, I have created my own mini guides on what I love to go and see, even though I live here. These are also the Canterbury attractions that I recommend to friends and family when they come and visit.

Each of the links below contain guides to my favourite haunts to visit.

Canterbury Cathedral You cannot come to Canterbury and not visit the Cathedral. It is still to this day my absolute favorite place in the city and it never fails to inspire me

St Augustine's Abbey See the home of Christianity in England and a burial place of Saxon kings and Queens for years before that.

Canterbury Tales See these wonderful pieces of literature come alive in the city itself. A great place to visit for young and old and learn about these wonderful pilgrims' tales

East Bridge Hospital Visit this wonderful historic building that has provided shelter to Canterbury Pilgrims for over 800 years

Canterbury Roman Museum See what the city was like hundreds of years ago with this great exhibition

There are more guides that I am in the process of writing, and I hope that what I share will give you some ideas on what to visit in this great city. Should you be planning on visiting all three attractions, you may want to consider investing in an Attractions Passport If you plan on visiting four of the following Canterbury attractions you can save money with the passport:

The Cathedral

St Augustine's Abbey

The Canterbury Tales

One city museum

The price for an Attractions Passport is £18.50 for an adult and £15.25 for a child.

The passports are only available at the Canterbury Visitor Information Center, 12/13 Sun Street, The Buttermarket, Canterbury, Kent CT1 2HX. You could also phone on +44 1227 378 100.

These passport's are valid for up to two months from the date of purchase, so if you don't manage to see everything you want in one visit, you could always come back for more!
