<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe shuttle bus stops in front of the visitor centre of Stonehenge. Visitors will be handed a ticket for the stone circle and the exhibition \u201cDiscover Stonehenge\u201d as well as a free audio guide by the bus driver. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Using the audio guide is highly recommended. It gives a good overview of what is known about the creation of the monument but also about current issues around it. For those who\u2019d like to learn more about this in advance, there is an app that can be downloaded to phones and allows to listen to the full tour ahead of time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We went to the stone circle first. A shuttle ferries people from the visitor centre to the stones for free. Visitors can also walk the distance. The shuttle stops once, after around half the distance. Many visitors prefer to walk a bit of the way to the stones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the stone circle itself, many first impressions are uttered around you. There are those who are, much like myself, totally into history and myths. Others stand and look and remark that there are really only stones to be seen here. As for my part, I was amazed. I enthusiastically listened to the explanations by the audio guide even though I had listened to the full tour multiple times before our visit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Back at the visitor centre, we proceeded to the exhibition \u201cDiscover Stonehenge\u201d. Here, too, we learned many fascinating things around the creation of Stonehenge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After a good two hours, we made our way back to Salisbury on the shuttle bus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
