A bookworm’s dream vacation spots



Books allow you to travel the world of the characters in the story. You don’t need a passport to get to London or to the most exotic places in fiction; you just need your imagination and a good book will take you there. Literature and travel have always been a natural partnership. Here are three destinations every book lover will love to travel to:

Dublin, Ireland

Dublin abounds in literary landmarks and is home to some of the most illustrious literary figures of all time like James Joyce and Oscar Wilde. Ireland's capital is one of the six UNESCO Cities of Literature and for good reason. You can visit the homes of some of the most prominent writers, such as George Bernard Shaw's birthplace turned museum. See one of the most famous books in the world, The Book of Kells, at Trinity College, or at nightfall, visit the city's most famous pubs.
