The Castle Museum, The Jorvik Centre, quaint little streets around the Shambles and the magnificent York Minster are just a few places of interest in the city.

Take a bus sightseeing tour of the city or a  boat trip along the River Ouse.

For train enthusiasts the National Rail Museum, home to the UK's national rail collection, offers free admission.

A trip to York would not be complete without afternoon tea at the renowned Betty's Tea Rooms.
