ABOUT YORK

Romans, Vikings, Normans and the Middle Ages have left their mark on the city of York over the years. Present-day visitors enjoy the heritage of its compact, largely traffic-free layout and a pattern of streets, alleyways walls and buildings dating back to medieval times and beyond.

An ideal place to explore on foot, this small city has so many museums, attractions, sights and streets of interests that it can almost be overwhelming on a short visit, whether for a day, a few days or longer.
