York is one of the most visited cities in the United Kingdom, and houses a high number of ancient churches, buildings and history. For this reason there is plenty to see and do in York for every age and taste.
Firstly you cannot miss a visit at York Minster (Homepage | York Minster) with its history dating back to 627 ad, where a wooden structure was built to host the baptism of Edwin, King of Northumbria, until today, going through all the changes and transformations during nearly 1,500 years.
Near the Minster, just outside of the City Walls, you can visit the York Art Gallery (York Art Gallery) and behind it there are the Museum Gardens, with the edible garden section and the St Mary’s Abbeys ruins. Within the garden there is the Yorkshire Museum (The Yorkshire Museum | York Museum Gardens) and the York Observatory (York Observatory | York Museum Gardens).
Then take a walk through Lendall Road, Coney Street and Castlegate and you’ll end up at Clifford’s Tower (Clifford’s Tower, York | English Heritage (english-heritage.org.uk)) and York Castle Museum (York Castle Museum), from this point you can walk along the City Walls (crossing Skeldergate Bridge and getting into the walls) and get to the York War Memorial, get off the walls and walk along Station Rise and Leeman Road to go to the National Railway Museum (National Railway Museum).
Very popular, not to be missed, is also the Jorvic Viking Centre, in Coppergate Walk in the City Centre.
