Fans of English literature — and Georgian-era literature in particular — will want to make sure a visit to the Jane Austen Centre on historic Gay Street is included in their Bath itinerary.
Austen famously vacationed in Bath before living here full-time from 1801 to 1806, a city that at the time was a gathering place for the country's upper classes, drawn by its famous baths, rural setting, and vibrant social scene.
Highlights of a visit include touring the well-preserved former townhome with a period-costumed guide (guided tours of other city landmarks are also available) and enjoying a wide variety of displays and materials relating to the author's time in Bath.
