Missed Alice’s Day in Oxford, England, on July 1? Not to worry — you can enjoy exploring sites connected to the perennially loved Alice in Wonderland story year-round in this historic academic city, where the story’s author, Lewis Carroll (Charles Dodgson), was once a student at Christ Church College. Stroll through the college grounds, where you can look for the stained-glass Alice window and carved Cheshire Cat’s face in the dining hall, and visit the gardens, where one of the beautiful trees is said to have been the basis for Carroll’s perched, grinning feline. Peruse the keepsakes at Alice’s Shop, once known as the Old Sheep, where the real-life Alice Liddell was fond of shopping for sweets.

Take your shopping with you to nearby Café Loco, where the menu includes a themed Mad Hatter’s Tea. Located on St. Aldates Street, the café is famous for the Wonderland wall murals and comfy window seats overlooking Christ Church College. Carry on down your Oxford rabbit hole on Alice’s Parks and Pleasure Walk, a 90-minute excursion through lesser-known areas of the city. Author and historian Mark Davies, who also bears the distinction of being the only guide endorsed by the Lewis Carroll Society, leads the tour. Finally, view the city as Carroll, Alice Liddell and her sisters once did while floating leisurely down the River Cherwell in a punt from Cherwell Boathouse. End your Alice adventure at the Eagle and Child, a pub known for its literary connections to authors including Carroll and his friends — authors J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis — who were often found in a cozy corner talking about their writing projects.
