What Makes York So Special?

Before we do a deep dive into the fun things to do in York, let’s first find out what makes this city such a draw. Situated in the heart of Yorkshire, York is well-known for being a city filled with history and charm, and part of what makes it so historic is that this multicultural city is famous for its Viking heritage. Like many other European cities, there is Roman influence, but not too many areas can say there are both Roman and Viking cultures.

While the history of the city is interesting, York’s most captivating feature is the body of water that flows through it (the same one that Vikings sailed on), the River Ouse. This river offers stunning views of historic landmarks and serves as the perfect setting for events – especially birthdays!

An iconic landmark, the York Minister is a stunning cathedral with a fascinating history. It also happens to be a place with some of the best bird’s eye views in the area. Another thing York is famous for is that it is one of the few cities in England that has intact medieval walls that are still standing. For those who want to take a step into history, walking the walls provides a unique perspective of architecture and cobblestone streets, and makes you think about what life could have looked like back then. Speaking of cobblestone streets, The Shambles is one that deserves a visit, as it is one of the city’s famous landmarks. This historic street features shopping and preserved medieval buildings that date back to the 14^th century. Lastly, a city with so much history also has a haunt or two.
