York Attractions
Steeped in a history that makes York a truly unique city you'll never need an excuse to visit, but with all the attractions that are on offer, you're not going to want to leave! Whether it's the exciting York Nightlife, or the fantastic York Shopping experience, there is definitely something for everybody.
It's unsurprising that a great deal of York attractions have a historical slant given the incredibly unique history that surrounds the city. The Vikings still have their roots firmly in York and you can explore what Viking York will have been like through the Jorvik Centre and DIG where authenticity is king... even down to the smell!
York is as picturesque as it is historic with the roads, buildings and scenery capable of taking your breath away at any time. You can stroll down the Shambles which was recently voted the most picturesque street in the UK by Google Street View taking in the leaning buildings that will have you scrambling for the camera. A great attraction to take in York's beauty is taking a boat down the river which when York is in full bloom truly is a sight to behold.
York Nightlife
York is often referred to as the ghost and ghoul centre of the UK and you can join one of the many ghost walks that take place every evening where you'll snake through the hidden alleyways learning about the horrors days gone by. Often delivered with a mix of humour, bravado yet still overtly sinister, taking a ghost walk through York city centre is certainly one attraction not to be missed.
York has a range of attractions to suit all tastes and budgets so whether you are looking for an exciting family day out or swanky weekend away with a loved one in one of the many York Hotels, York has something for everyone.
