One tour you can’t miss is following the footsteps of the iconic detective Sherlock Holmes. It’s a real treat!

Need a break? Stop by the Dukes Bar, where Ian Fleming was inspired to turn the Martini into James Bond’s signature drink. Next, don’t forget to visit the British Library to see its literary treasures. These aren’t hidden away; they’re proudly displayed for everyone to enjoy.

– **Paris (France)**: Start your literary journey by visiting the Père-Lachaise cemetery, home to Oscar Wilde’s famously visited grave. It’s a tradition to leave a mark with red lipstick. Many other authors also found inspiration in Paris’s cafes, like the beautiful Les Deux Magots in Saint Germain.

Don’t miss the Latin Quarter, rich with literary history. France has its own celebrated authors, so make sure to visit the museum houses of Honoré de Balzac and Victor Hugo.
