Few British cities offer the magical charm and beauty of York. Outstanding
architecture and 2,000 years of history combine with bustling shopping streets
and award-winning attractions. With over 30 museums, galleries and tours to
choose from in its compact centre, York offers something for everyone all year
round.
Visitors can enjoy first class shopping in major high street stores, traditional
gift shops and independent boutiques, while the fashion conscious head for the
new designer outlet village on the city’s outskirts. Evening entertainment
is equally varied and might involve a moonlit boat cruise, a concert or theatre
visit, or ghost tour around one of the most haunted cities in Europe.
A wide range of restaurants serves both traditional English and fine international
cuisine, and the city reputedly has a pub or wine bar for every night of the
year! An exciting calendar of events and festivals runs throughout the year
and includes the ever popular Jorvik Viking Festival and St Nicholas Christmas
Festival, together with the nation's largest annual Festival of Food and Drink.
A wealth of accommodation suiting all tastes and budgets complement Yorkshire's
famous hospitality, making York the ideal destination for your short break.
