Salisbury Information Centre, Salisbury
Salisbury Information Centre is a useful starting point for visitors exploring the city and the surrounding countryside. It operates as both the Tourist Information Centre and the reception for Salisbury City Council, offering advice on attractions, walking routes, events, public transport, and nearby destinations. Staff can help with itineraries, local services, accommodation, dining, and seasonal activities.
The centre is housed in a preserved 14th-century medieval building, once part of a row of fishmonger shops behind the historic Guildhall. Its stone exterior, arched ground-floor openings, and tall upper windows give it a distinctive character. Inside, visitors can pick up maps and brochures, book tours, and get information on the Stonehenge Tour Bus, theatre tickets, and guided walks.
The gift shop offers postcards, guidebooks, souvenirs, and locally made products such as honey, chutneys, hand creams, and soaps. It also sells Salisbury Monopoly and special Salisbury and Stonehenge international stamps. The centre is also a meeting point for city tours, including summer walks with Blue Badge guides and the weekly Salisbury Ghost Walk.
