York is reputedly one of the most intriguing
cities in England, no other English city offers
the layers of history, beauty and sheer diversity
of York. The superbly preserved walled city
has witnessed more than 2000 years of vibrant
history. Combine this with quaint tea- shops,
bustling shopping streets, the brightest bars
and cafes and award winning attractions and
you've got the perfect holiday destination.
Award-winning attractions are thick under foot
in York. With over 30 museums, galleries and
tours to choose from in its compact centre,
England's Finest Historic City has something
for everyone whatever the time of year. Highlights
include the largest Gothic cathedral in northern
Europe, the magnificent Minster, the National
Railway Museum- the largest railway museum in
the world, the Castle Museum with its perfectly
recreated Victorian and Edwardian streets, the
terrifying York Dungeon and the new £5
million Jorvik, which 'flies' you through time.
For those who love to shop, York offers a first-
class opportunity to browse in traditional gift
shops, independent boutiques and investigate
curios and antiques. An exploration into Stonegate
and Swinegate will reveal some hidden treasures,
the medieval Shambles shows a city steeped in
history with buildings leaning so far forward
they almost meet. For designer shopping head
to the McArthurGlen Designer Outlet, just a
short journey from the city.
Evening entertainment is equally varied and
could include a cruise along the beautiful River
Ouse, theatre visit or evening at the state
of the art City Screen cinema. Those feeling
brave could try one of the hugely popular ghost
tours around what is allegedly one of the most
haunted cities in Europe.
The year round calendar of events adds an exciting
dimension to the city- including the popular
Jorvik Viking Festival in February, Britain's
largest annual Festival of Food and Drink in
September and the St Nicholas Christmas Festival
in November and December.
