Stonehenge is open year-round, but the most atmospheric time to visit is during the massive summer or winter solstice celebrations when entrance is free. Although visits are timed, the attraction can get crowded in summer, so arrive early or opt for a sunrise or sunset tour to experience the landmark when it's least crowded—and most photogenic.
Don't miss checking out the visitor center when you're in Stonehenge. Inside, visitors can see archaeological treasures unearthed at the site, gain unique perspectives through a 360-degree audio-visual display, and step inside a series of recreated Neolithic dwellings.
