The
City of York
According
to the Yorkshire Tourist Board, York
is intriguing mix of old and new makes it one of the UK's top cities to
visit, with exciting events all year long
It is a pulsating city layered with 2,000 years of history yet packed
with contemporary shops, restaurants and attractions - so much so that
York is regularly picked as one of Britain's top cities to visit.
It is easy to fall in love with York's unique and beguiling combination
of historic and modern - like the mix of the magnificent mediaeval
Minster and the towering Yorkshire Wheel, and the ancient cobbled
streets lined with the latest shops and the coolest bars.
It is a city where the past is all around you but it never feels like a
dull museum. Sights like JORVIK, where the latest technology takes you
back to the Viking age, or the York Dungeon, where visitors learn the
most ghoulish secrets of city's colourful history?
And sometimes you'll feel like a time traveller, when you climb the
steps to William the Conqueror's inspiring Clifford's Tower, relive the
golden age of the railways at the National Railway Museum, and
experience everyday life as it once was at York Castle Museum.
Pedestrianised streets make historic York ideal to explore on foot.
Simply relax and wander, or follow a themed trail. You can join a
guided stroll of York's history or an evening ghost walk. Perhaps
you'll sit back and enjoy a tour by open-top bus, riverboat or
horse-and-carriage.
There is always something going on. York boasts an all-year calendar of
events including one of the UK's largest Festivals of Food and Drink every
September and the spellbinding Christmas
markets. Events during your stay could include racing at
one of the UK's finest flat-racing courses or a Viking or Roman
re-enactment.
Whatever time of year you visit you'll find that York doesn't slow down
at night. The city seems to buzz with every type of music and it's
renowned for its performing arts. Enjoy the theatre, concerts or an
amazing selection of restaurants. Perhaps you'll dress up for a
sophisticated brasserie or trendy riverside bar or simply relax at a
pavement café or traditional pub; in York there's a different pub for
every day of the year. |
