York is a walker's paradise where you can meander through the 'Snickleways' that join the old medieval streets and take time to wonder at the amazing variety of architecture: crooked timber frame blends with its elegant Georgian neighbours. Relax with a glass of traditional ale in a cosy, historic inn, or tuck into a delicious afternoon tea. Wherever you go, you will be entertained by buskers and street theatre - actors, musicians, acrobats and jugglers. For a nightcap with a difference join one of the infamous Ghost Walks around this most haunted of European Cities. The association of Voluntary Guides offer free guided tours every morning and afternoon during the summer, starting in Exhibition square. Further details on the times of walks are available from the Tourist Information Centre. When you just want to sit back and take in the scenery why not take a 'York City Sightseeing' bus. Weather permitting, why not take a leisurely boat trip on the River Ouse?
At the end of the day, as both the city and you unwind, there is a vast choice of Olde world pubs, night clubs, wine bars, theatres, and restaurants, including the Theatre Royal and the Grand Opera House. Catch the latest film releases at the City Screen or Odeon cinema in York City Centre or at the Vue Cinema - located within 2 miles of the city.
