For the best views over York, climb the Minster Tower. Costs a few pounds - and you need to be in shape for the climb - but well worth it.
Will be a great first stop when visiting York to get a historical context to all you come across.
Brilliant museum! Very clever and the staff are excellent. If you are an English Heritage member, show your card for a discount
A great little museum with historic rooms and a street. Better than a load of old stuff in cabinets!
If you'd rather not pay to go in, or it's closed, go through the passageway at Coffee Yard to see into the main hall through the big glass windows. A fine example of a restored medieval hall.
The only place in the UK with a Director of fun! Harry Potter fans be sure to check out the steam engine used in the films.
Rehearsal venue for the York Mystery Plays 2012. See them live in the Museum Gardens in a purpose-built, outdoor auditorium between 2-27 August 2012.www.yorkmysteryplays2012.com
Fantastic place. Great for frights and laughs. Buy your ticket from the York information centre near exhibition square for a discount.
Order the cheese board, the Yorkshire blue is divine and the chutney is amazing
The most fabulous Yorkshire Tea Service I have ever tasted complete with scones, jam and clotted cream served in an elegant silver service. W O W!
Have a coffee in the costa coffee shop. It's in a lovely old kiosk inside the station.
A Christmas Shop - that's open all year round! Bit weird going here in the middle of July...
It's not just a fabulous 18th century hotel, it's also a convent and houses a museum, library, shop, café and meeting rooms. Lovely decor inside.
Check out the Exhibition Corridor - on your right as you enter the main cafe. Usually overlooked but nice art in there, often for sale.
Ask for your wine in a plastic glass, take it into the cinena with you, and sit back and enjoy the movie like you were on your sofa at home. Veey civilised.
Go on a Monday at 11 or 2 and catch the historic tour. Our guide Colin was brilliant! Best tour of stately house in the U.K
Guided tours for groups and occasional public open days - well worth a visit Leggi tutto.
Don't miss 'Officer 3rd Bn 14th of Foot' by Jean Pierre Barrois, it is one of Yorkshire's Favourite Paintings - http://bit.ly/hUNo2F
Take the optional tour of the cellars and hear the tale of Harry Martindale and the Roman soldier ghosts
Carved out of an amazing 1.5 million growing maize plants York Maze is thought to be the largest maze in the world! Make sure you play Water Wars too!
When you've finished reading the lyrics on the wall, we recommend the blue cheese lasagne and any of the homemade cakes on display. Leggi tutto.
Absolutely great food at the Blue Bicycle. Best I've had in the United Kingdom. Had the duck special which was wonderful.
