But don’t be fooled - despite its Viking connections, gothic heritage and medieval architecture; York is a vibrant city which combines a rich heritage with fashionable shopping and glorious surrounding countryside.
Start your visit to York with a tour of the Minster, one of the world’s most stunning Gothic cathedrals, then walk the city walls before exploring the cobbled streets of The Shambles.
