York is a historic, walled city in northeast England, renowned for its rich heritage and striking architecture dating back to Roman times. Known for its famous York Minster, it is a magnificent cathedral adorned in stunning medieval stained glass and intricate stone masterpieces. The city houses the National Railway Museum with its collection of historical trains and exhibits. In York, you'll also find the labyrinth-like cobbled streets of the famous Shambles, reminiscent of a Harry Potter movie set. Its fascinating Viking heritage is brought to life in the Jorvik Viking Center with authentic exhibitions and immersive experiences. With an intriguing blend of history, culture, and enchanting beauty, York promises to take you on an unforgettable journey back in time.

I was attending university in York. It is an absolutely incredible experience. I have been telling my family to skip London and make their way to Yorkshire. That's where the most beautiful part of England is!

I felt very safe walking around alone
I enjoyed visiting the York ghost merchants and the cathedral
I mostly walked and a few buses that run very little compared to London.
For those who need to leave their luggage for a few hours I recommend Your bag ​​Left Luggage (20 High Petergate, York YO1 7EH)
