Visit York

There are lots of things to do in York and I found staying in the city centre a great place to experience some of it's delights. I enjoyed an informative journey on the hop-on hop-off bus tour, which also gave me a good over view of the city centre. The Jorvik Centre was an experience and was not what I was expecting, namely the motorised carriages that formed part of the experience. The art gallery had a marvellous exhibition focused on drawing when I visited, it included work by teenagers who had worked with the artist - all absolutely brilliant! The cafe in the gallery is well worth a visit. The Bluebell pub on Fossegate is a wonderful haven from the bustle of the city. There is so much on offer in York.

Our first visit to York and really enjoyed the city. We took a bicycle tour which was really great and very informative, walked around the city and its walls, ate and drank well. Check out the museum gardens. The city seemed busy with hen/stag parties, so just bear this in mind when you’re thinking about dates and spending time in town at later at night. Lots of good restaurants to choose from and plenty good beer to drink.

York is full of history and lots of places to visit, with many in walking distance of the town centre. The are plenty of dining options from many traditional pubs, restaurants, both lower cost and more expensive, and a great hop on hop of bus system to help explore the town. Some highlights; the FREE Railway Museum; very impressive, with plenty more to come. Has to be the best free museum we have been to. York Castle Museum. Not free, but great value and really well done. Pretty much everyone walks the wall and definitely well worth it

Unfortunately we went during the school holiday and the Jorvik centre etc were all fully booked but did go to the minster which was worth a visit and the railway museum which was amazing .we used the blue open top bus as the ticket lasts for 2 days so we just hopped on and off.i walked around the wall which was good exercise and took just over 2 hours

Beautiful place and we felt it was best explored on foot so lots of walking. There are a plethora of city tours and ghost hunts and museums to explore and both unique and modern shopping opportunities. We indulged in a Scrumptious (if a bit expensive) afternoon tea in Betty’s and discovered a wealth of great pubs, bars and coffee shops down every street. York Minster itself was just wow and staff friendly and informative. Stood in a queue for an hour and a half to buy some cute little ghosts in The Shambles and walked the city walls. Loved it, will definitely be back 🫶

York is a beautiful place. We were centrally located. Walked to most of the places. The weather was perfect and the family enjoyed it. We had a bit of the York food as well as cooked our own. Very easy to get around York,
