While The King's Mile might not have many sights to explore, venturing just a little farther will lead you to top things to see and do like Canterbury Cathedral and Marlowe Theatre.
Explore the great outdoors at Westgate Gardens, a lovely green space in Canterbury. Make time to visit the area's stunning cathedral, or simply enjoy its lively bars.
The magnificent Canterbury Cathedral towers over medieval streets where you can follow Chaucer's pilgrims through literary history. Take a punting tour along the River Stour past ancient city walls or visit the interactive Canterbury Tales attraction where costumed guides bring stories to life.
Lively and sociable on a Saturday night. Lots of sites to see and things to do. Missed out on a guided tour on a punt down the Stour due to high water levels and strong current following lots of rain, which was a shame, but we'll try next time.

Such a friendly and diverse city. Vibrant and fun and a really lovely atmosphere. Bustling city centre and great High St, with hardly any empty shops. Plenty to do. Very clean and safe to walk around but sad to see so many rough sleepers

Been a very long time since I was last here. Canterbury is a great small city. Small independent shops, quirky, and it also has main high street shops. Great range of places to eat. Lots to see and a trip to nearby Whitstable is a must.

Canterbury is a beautiful, pedestrianised city. Very safe, lots of young people/mostly students. It's quite touristy, with nice pubs, restaurants and two railway stations. Overall, a good experience.

THE CITY IS BEAUTIFUL ! The Cathedral is spectacular and the medieval architecture of the city is enchanting.
"The location within the cathedral grounds is a special feature. Lovely to wander around in the evening and easy for the restaurants.
Breakfast was fabulous with a choice of cooked or a large continental menu. The room was clean and comfortable. The bed was a smallish double and the shower was adequate but not a huge space. Overall a delightful experience.
