Explore the surrounding lanes to discover independent boutiques, traditional tearooms and plenty of places to stop for lunch.
Discover York's fascinating Viking heritage at the popular JORVIK Viking Centre. Journey back more than 1,000 years and discover what life was like when the city was known as Jorvik. York also offers an excellent choice of museums and attractions, including the National Railway Museum and York Castle Museum, giving history lovers plenty to choose from during their stay.
During the festive season, York becomes even more enchanting as Christmas lights illuminate its historic streets and the city welcomes its popular St Nicholas Fair. Traditional chalets fill the city centre with gifts, crafts, festive food and seasonal treats, creating a wonderful Christmas atmosphere against the backdrop of York's medieval architecture.
