10 Vibrant Vacations for Booksters

It’s not difficult at all to believe that reading still ranks as a top leisure-time activity.

After all, you’re doing it right now.

reading as top leisure activity

If reading ranks right up there as part of your Dot Com lifestyle, then think about it as an inspiration to become more active by planning a trip based on your literary preferences.

Your success has given yourself the time to do whatever you want whenever you want, so here are 10 locations where you can personify your bookish pursuits:

1. Go to Scotland for the Edinburgh International Book Festival

To Scotland, for the Edinburgh International Book Festival

Every August, the Edinburgh International Book Festival hosts 800 authors in the world heritage site of Charlotte Square Gardens for 700 book-related events: workshops, panels, signings, talks and more.

Previous guests include Neil Gaimain, JK Rowling, Salman Rushdie, and Zadie Smith. It’s basically an amusement park for bibliophiles.

2. Go to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter

To The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

Meanwhile, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is literally an amusement park for book lovers.

Part of Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida, this theme park lets us live out our fondest Harry Potter fantasies.

On the London side, you can wander around Diagon Alley, take a ride through the vaults of Gringots Bank, and catch the Hogwarts Express from Kings’ Cross station.

By Hogwarts, you can shop at Hogsmeade, visit classrooms and common rooms, and fly on a Hippogriff.

3. Go to Bath, England: Jane Austen’s onetime home

To Bath, England: Jane Austen's onetime home

Tourists in the small Georgian city of Bath can visit the Jane Austen Centre to learn about the author’s experiences living there and how they figured into her novels.

The centre has a permanent exhibition, holds Austen-themed walking tours and even puts on a Jane Austen festival every September.

4. Go to Romeo and Juliet’s Verona

To Romeo and Juliet's Verona

We don’t know if Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet ever really lived, but their story was set in real places in Verona, Italy, and based on real family rivalries.

Fans of their tragic tale can visit Juliet’s tomb and the Montague and Capulet houses — including Juliet’s famous balcony — to see what light through yonder window breaks. The especially lovestruck, or morbid, among us can even get married there.

Simplify, simplify, simplify in Walden Pond.

It’s the Massachusetts reservation that once inspired Henry David Thoreau’s manifesto of natural living. Visitors can swim, hike or cross country ski, as the park is open year round.

To India for the Jaipur Literature Festival

In eight years of existence, the Jaipur Literary Festival has become the largest book festival in Asia and the largest free one in the world.

Not only can you visit the place where Anne of Green Gables is set, but also the time.

The Stockholm City Museum runs a walking tour through the city, where you can trace the footsteps of Lisbeth Salander and Mikel Blomkvist.
