Tourists Information - York

A walk along the old city walls and a trip along the river in the boat is a great way of relaxing in this place.

Visit the Minster Cathedral especially on occasions like Advent when one can hear the choir and carry candles, at other times one can spend time in the park and have a picnic.

The Shambles is another place to visit with its large number of cafes, shops, antique and craft places from where one can pick up souvenirs to take back.

One can explore this city in the early evening and the Old Center with areas like Petergate, Stonegate and Goodramgate are some of the places to spend a quiet time.

The best way of moving around the city is in a horse driven carriage or an open air bus. The carriages are available from Duncombe Place.
