Stratford is called “Canada’s Art Town,” thanks to its thriving art scene. Its most well-known event is Stratford Festival - formerly known as Stratford Shakespearean Festival - which runs from April to October. While it continues to produce traditional plays, it also includes contemporary ones to give way to all kinds of artists. Speaking of Shakespeare, Stratford is also home to Shakespearean Gardens which originally featured only plants and flowers that were mentioned in the playwright’s old works but has since expanded. You can also rent a boat and paddle along the Avon River. Your trip to the city will not be complete without taking on the Stratford Chocolate Trail which will take you on a delicious journey across over 20 bakers and confectionaries.
Give yourself time to experience all of these attractions for yourself by booking one of the best short-term rentals in Stratford, Canada.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) host status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, decor, availability of dates, and short-term stay rules and regulations.
