York Minster
River Ouse
Landmarks and sightseeing opportunities are abundant in York. Certainly one of the most magnificent is the Minster with its famous Rose Window.

Quaint narrow streets with half timbered houses, shops, pubs, tea rooms and restaurants all help entice visitors to this area. Numerous archaeological sites are also to be discovered, with the city being built layer on layer for hundreds of years. Art galleries and theatres are among the tourist attractions, with street performers and market traders all contributing to a unique atmosphere.

Exhibitions include the Jorvik visitor centre, which retraces the Viking ownership of the area and The National Railway Museum, which charts the history of the locomotion.

The picturesque North York Moors and the countryside from the hit television series, "All Creatures Great and Small," are easily accessible from a base here in the city.


Whether you are a shopper, a lover of architecture, or a sports fanatic, York has it all!
And for those who are looking for nightlife, York is the perfect destination.
