As if to ward off time, the city is still encircled by two-and-a-half miles of medieval walls. Whereas sentries used to walk the wide ramparts in days of yore, you get to spend time walking their perimeter today. As one of the most intriguing cities in northern England (the heads of traitors used to hang at the entrance to Micklegate), York boasts a number of historical landmarks. As you stroll the medieval core, it's impossible to miss the stunning facade of the 13th century York Minster - Northern Europe's largest Gothic cathedral. Discover the snickelways, an intricate maze of narrow alleyways and twisting lanes, along with the Shambles, one of the best preserved medieval streets in Europe. Even gaze up at the 13th century hilltop-perched ruins of Clifford's Tower, part of the York Castle complex. History abounds in York!

Optional:

The Witchery Restaurant located on the Royal Mile is a highly recommended dinner venue. The 16th century building located close to the Castle is lit exclusively by candlelight. The tapestry-draped main dining room is an ode to opulence: the seats are a rich red leather, the ceiling is gilded, and the walls are covered with oak panels salvaged from an old cathedral. The Secret Garden annex, meanwhile, is full of brass candlesticks and stone statues, and displays a series of painted doors that tell the story of Edinburgh's wine trade with France. The menu is equally astonishing, and the desserts absolutely divine. Please note, this is an optional experience and your reservation and meal are not included.
