Warum York Besuchen
Discover World-Class, Free Museums: The National Railway Museum is the largest of its kind, housing majestic locomotives like the Mallard and a full-sized replica of Stephenson's Rocket. The Yorkshire Museum, set in beautiful botanical gardens, holds the priceless Middleham Jewel and Roman mosaics.
Embrace the Festive & Paranormal Spirit: In December, the St. Nicholas Fair transforms the city into a Dickensian Christmas market. Year-round, York's reputation as Europe's most haunted city comes alive on theatrical evening ghost walks through the shadowy snickelways and along the river.
Walk a Complete Medieval City: York's 3km of intact city walls offer a unique pedestrian circuit with stunning views. You can literally trace the city's boundary, passing through historic 'bars' (gates) like Monk Bar and Micklegate Bar, and peer down into hidden gardens and across to the Minster.
