If you’ll travel to Europe soon, consider visiting York, a top UK city. Europe a la Carte gives some tips on York attractions to visit with the York Pass.
Cliffords Tower, York, by Egerton Claret
The pass (currently £28 for one day to £68 for six days with reductions for kids) permits free entrance to about 50 of the city’s top attractions such as York Minster (but costs an extra £5 for the York Minster Tower tour!), a traditional York brewery tour (includes a free beer), the quilt museum, the Dungeon (great fun to be scared to death by historic figures!), a 45 min river cruise and so on. It can be hard to plan an itinerary for York sightseeing with so much to see and do.
The attractions themselves are relatively expensive and you soon realize the value of the pass if you go for broke and sample as many of the attractions as possible. Long spring/summer days should help, as some of the attractions are rather limited/not available in winter compared with what’s on offer in the summer, when opening hours will also be that much longer.
There are also some worthwhile free York attractions, such as walking the scenic city walls (daytime only) and the brilliant art gallery.
If you’re visiting York UK as part of your European vacation, also consider the nearby cities of Leeds and Manchester for altogether different experiences!
