York overview

This is the city where Yorkshire gets its York from and it has been the site of many political struggles throughout its 2,000-year-old history. This truly is an interesting city with the most stunning architecture in north of England. Visitors can spoil themselves walking around the old cobbled streets and wander through museums and galleries to learn a snippet or two of the happenings over the last two millennia. The Jorvik Viking Centre transports patrons back 1,000 years with sights, sounds and smells of the past. Step out in the evening and revel at how this modest city springs to life with festivals, parties and a host of pubs and bars to enjoy.
