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)
Posted: May 11, 2025Experienced: April, 2024I felt safe, as I stayed at the Radisson, which is near the city center. I went specifically to watch a play that starred Gary Oldman and decided to make a 2-night trip out of it. Food was decent. It's not the cheapest of places, but I think given what I experience it was good. I mostly walked as I stayed around the city centre. The York Minster was beautiful, I took the guided tour and learnt so much. Probably one of the most beautiful cathedral in the UK.

York is generally a very safe place. As anywhere there are moments but as an average I don’t fear for my safety. Town can get rowdy with party goers as it’s a destination for stag and hens and weekends away and when you add the abundance of bars and pubs into the mix it does get lively but that’s York.

I am 24, and I have been living in York for coming up on two years. I am going to br travelling to Asia and Europe throughout the year! I am hoping to possibly meet up with some people on my travels as I will be going alone.
