Canterbury is a historic city and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city is home to the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, the senior bishop and principal leader of the Church of England and the symbolic head of the worldwide Anglican Communion. One of the most-loved cities in the UK, Canterbury is a popular tourist destination. Key things to visit include Canterbury Cathedral, St Augustine's Abbey, Westgate Towers, Westgate Gardens, and Canterbury Castle.

Canterbury is a university town with 55,240 inhabitants. It is located on the River Stour in the county of Kent in the southeast of England and is the seat of the Archbishop of Canterbury and center of England's Anglican Church.
In addition to the cathedral, St. Augustine Abbey and St Martin's Church, both from the 6th century, are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Canterbury was severely damaged during the Second World War by the German Air Force, which explains the mix of modern and historic buildings. The medieval town center turns into a shopping paradise for shoppers to the southeast: in the morning a boat tour on the Great Stour along the Huguenot weaver houses and a visit to the Canterbury Roman Museum with its impressive, 1,700-year-old mosaic, afternoon bargain hunting at Debenhams and Marks & Spencer.
Canterbury has spawned some English celebrities: Shakespeare's contemporary and writer colleague Christopher Marlowe was born here, as well as Detective Inspector Edmund Reid, who investigated in the early Jack the Ripper murder cases. The actor Tom Wilkinson attended the University of Kent and heart of the eclipse writer Joseph Conrad found his last resting place at the Canterbury Cemetery.
