If you’re into adventures and you have pretty good stamina, walking along York city walls is a must when you visit the city.

Completing the walk with the help of a tour guide will cost you a little more money, but it is totally worth it because won’t miss any hidden gems or points of historical significance along the way.
Located in central York, by Dean’s Park and not far from the Holy Trinity Church, York Minster is one of the city’s most stunning and architecturally breath-taking buildings. Prepare to be blown away by the Minster’s intricate stained glass and medieval stonework, and learn all about the building’s Roman roots, its 2,000 years of history, and the many volunteers who keep it up and running today.

Complete with life-size mannequins, life-like smells, and the sounds of the Viking era, stepping into the Jorvik Centre is like stepping back in time.
