Hay On Wye, Wales - the world's first book town!
Population: 2,000
Bookstores: 25
Aka heaven on earth. Walking around here, my first thought was - how soon can I move here? Although I'm not sure my bank balance would be in favour of the move.
Hay On Wye also hosts Hay Festival every summer, bringing authors, readers and reviewers to the small Welsh village to annually celebrate everything bookish.
Luckily for me, my boyfriend's hometown is a 40 minute drive from Hay On Wye, so we may be going back to Wales more often in the future.
We managed to visit 11 bookstores during our few hours in the small town, but there are around 25 bookstores in total and maps are available in almost all bookstores.
Happy browsing!
