Pedestrains walking along an attractive shopping street in the picturesque city of York

York City Break

Discover the enduring charm of York, where ancient walls surround a city of medieval streets, remarkable museums and inviting places to eat and shop. From the magnificent Minster to the timber-framed buildings of the Shambles, its history is woven into every stroll, with something to catch your eye around each corner.

Fascinating museums reveal stories of the city’s past, while its winding streets invite you to wander and see where they lead. Whether you are drawn by history, shopping or simply the pleasure of exploring somewhere full of character, York offers plenty to enjoy.
