索爾茲伯里處在南英格蘭鄉村的中央,是個典型的英格蘭古典城市。索爾茲伯里同時擁有中世紀城市的迷人特色和現代城市的活躍動力,獨立的店鋪及傳統的英式酒吧,和商業大街及現代的咖啡館混為一體。到索爾茲伯里,一定要去參觀大教堂。索爾茲伯里大教堂建于1220年至1258年,英國最高的教堂尖頂優雅的聳立于教堂周圍寧靜建筑之間的大片草坪上。當游客漫步其間時,可以盡情游覽一流的展覽館和優美的仿古建筑。
Nestling in the very heart of rural southern England, Salisbury is every bit the classic English city. Salisbury combines the charm of a medieval city with the vibrancy of modern life, where high street names and modern café culture intermingle with independent shops and traditional English pubs.
A visit to the cathedral is a must. Built between 1220 and 1258, the cathedral boasts the tallest spire in Britain, which rises elegantly above the sweeping lawns of the tranquil cathedral close. Within the close, you can enjoy award-winning museums and graceful period homes as you wander peacefully around the relaxed setting.
For the culturally minded, there’s the annual Salisbury Festival and entertainment is always on offer at the Salisbury playhouse, city hall and arts centre.
With five rivers running through the city and an expanse of tree-lined parkland, there are many opportunities to relax and unwind. With a diverse range of pubs and restaurants catering for all tastes and pockets there’s no excuse for going hungry!
A number of hotels and B&Bs will ensure a good night’s sleep should you wish to stay a little longer. You’ll then discover that Salisbury is unbeatable as a touring base.
