Things to Do

Located in the heart of the stunning city of York, The Royal York Hotel offers easy access to all of the attractions of York and surrounding areas whilst offering a peaceful haven in which to relax and enjoy your break. From idyllic bedrooms to long lazy lunches and chilled out cocktails evenings in the Tempus Restaurant, you may never want to leave the hotel. 

However if you do head out there is so much to do in York and the surrounding areas the challenge is deciding what to explore first. Why not take a wander along the ancient city walls that wrap themselves around the historic city, or a stroll along the banks of river.
Better still enjoy fabulous views of the city while cruising along the Ouse on a York Boat riverboat. If  it’s designer labels you’re after or totally unique gifts & antiques, spend time exploring York’s fine selection of shops and boutiques. Or Hop on a York Sightseeing Bus for easy access to all of the city’s highlights. 

This spectacular city is great to explore, with a strong mix of great attractions including The York Dungeon, the spectacular York Minister, and the fantastic National Railway Museum. For more Information about local attractions, opening hours and admission prices can be found at Visit York's website.

Enjoy!
