York City Break

York is a truly captivating city, steeped in over 2,000 years of history and culture, making it one of the top destinations for a city break in the UK. From its Roman roots and Viking heritage to its medieval charm, every corner of York tells a story. Wander through the atmospheric cobbled streets of the Shambles, lined with quaint shops and timber-framed buildings and take in the awe-inspiring York Minster – the largest Gothic cathedral in Northern Europe and a symbol of the city's enduring grandeur. York’s museums, including the renowned JORVIK Viking Centre and the National Railway Museum, offer something for every interest. With its vibrant shopping scene, buzzing café culture and beautifully preserved architecture, it is no surprise that York is often hailed as England’s finest historic city.
