Yes it's recommended to book at least the Shakespeare's birthplace in advance as you can visit it on your chosen date but for the New Place and the cottage you can go anytime. It wasn't busy when we went I don't know if the online price is same or different from the in store price
If we see Shakespeare's house on foot, what other houses are within walking distance? Is there a tour ticket we can purchase in advance? We don't have access to a printer but can book online.
A:
Thank you so much. We will buy the 5 houses online ticket which seems like a good buy even for 2 or 3 places.
