The city of York is proud to have more attractions per square mile in comparison to any other city in the UK. There are plenty of things to do for all ages.

Visit the York Art Gallery and all the works of art it houses, or take in the York Minster in all its glory, whether that be on a guided tour or attending a free daily service. Perhaps you’d prefer to have a few bets on some horses at the York Racecourse, or delve into York’s bleakest 2,000 years of history by taking in the York Dungeon.

For Harry Potter fans, a must is a visit to one of the most famous streets, shambles. The street was JK Rowling’s inspiration for Diagon Alley and some of the film's scenes were shot there too.
