VinaTraveler's Blog: Top 10 Best Places to Visit in BATH, United Kingdom!!!

Bath, United Kingdom

It was the 2005' Pride & Prejudice movie that I got fascinated with Jane Austen, an English novelist where the movie was based on Jane Austen's 1813 novel of the same name. Since then, I watched more series and movies based on her novels like Sense and Sensibility and Emma. So, my dream turned into a reality when I visited Bath, the United Kingdom where the famous "The Jane Austen Centre" is located. However, not only it became the highlight of my visit but also the entire city of Bath which is for me a beautiful and enchanting city!
