England Through The Ages
Although abounding in reminders of the past, York is very much a city for the here and now, with excellent shops, bars and restaurants, many along the River Ouse. Surrounding it are the medieval city walls – the longest and best preserved in England – and many of the gates that once allowed access to the city.
Walk the walls for wonderful views towards the city and towering York Minster. Standing proud on a hill, this cavernous church is the seat of the Archbishop of York, the 2nd highest position in the Church of England.
A little south is The Shambles, a narrow street with medieval buildings that now house quaint shops. Going further back in time is the Jorvik Centre, a fascinating museum showcasing the city’s Viking remains. You can even have a go at archaeology yourself at the DIG excavation pits, with replica finds from York’s Roman, Viking, medieval and Victorian eras.
Other York attractions include the National Railway Museum, home to the Flying Scotsman and Mallard trains. Around 30 minutes’ drive away is Castle Howard, a stately home with over 1000 acres of grounds.
Leeds-Bradford Airport is the nearest airport, and there is a great range of hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in York and the outskirts available on Booking.com.

I would say to make sure you wear comfortable shoes because there are cobbled streets. It is quite crowded mid morning on so I would suggest walking around early if you want to get a good look. The shops will be open later...

Bit of both worlds - of course there is the modern with the usual shops but there is another side too.
The Shambles is like stepping back into Harry Potter and the ramparts which can be walked around are just fantastic. Then there is the Minster but do walk there if possible as parking pretty horrendous as you might expect.
Museums and galleries to explore and if your better half doesn't go for all the history stuff then leave them in the coffee houses and vast array of shops and meet back up later.
Easy to get around if you don't mind walking a bit and often uphill ( well slight inclines anyway). The bridges are lovely too and make easy muster points.
Have a drive around the surrounding countryside too - Beverley and Pocklington and Stamford Bridge - all easy driving and well worth that day out.
Just lovely.

York is an absolute must.
York is an absolute must. Out of 9 cities in the UK over 2.5 weeks, it is in our top 2-3. It is full of history, character, and uniqueness you will not find anywhere else. The Minster was our favorite (even over Westminster). We loved walking the cobble streets, the Shambles, shopping, pubs, restaurants, the Wall, learning of the significant pivotal history York was. We will be back!

A walk around the walls. The railway museum was brilliant.
A walk around the walls. The railway museum was brilliant. The Treasurer's House (NT) was very interesting with a lovely cafe and garden. Both cafe and garden can be visited without paying the entrance fee. Evensong at the Minster was lovely and the interior as beautiful as the outside. York is a great place to amble around, nice shops, lots of good places to eat and drink. Second visit to Little Italy and the food was delicious. Interesting architecture.

There are lots of tours and all I’ve been on have been interesting and funny too.
Absolute vast amount of places to eat and drink.
Various street artists were in the city and were an absolute pleasure to watch.
You will never be bored and will always leave wanting more.
York is definitely my happy place and I already can’t wait to be back.
After travelling to York a couple of times a year for the last 20 years, it was our first time using this hotel. Galtres is easily the best hotel that we have stayed in. Our room (5) was cosy, clean and great for people watching. Breakfast was delicious and made to order. You literally cannot get any closer to the city centre and the 25% discount on Shambles Q Carpark was brilliant. The staff were super and nothing was too much trouble for them. We will definitely be staying here again in the near future.
We started travelling very early in the morning. By the time we arrived at the hotel, we were exhausted and it was still too early to check in. The gentleman at the reception was very kind to find us a room to rest at no extra charge, we really appreciated especially travelling with our very young daughter. The location was good, in a quiet area, a short drive to York city centre. Plenty of choices for breakfast, room was spacious, very comfy beds, heat was very good for an early winter trip.
The location was very good. There was plenty of transportation. The city buses and the tour buses had stops close by. And the main part of town was within walkable distance. I had to pay extra for breakfast and it was a little expensive but it was readily available and tasty with choices. The room was cozy and comfortable. The shower was one of the best I experienced over my five weeks of England travel. The staff were friendly and helpful.
A nice, unassuming guest house with simple accommodations. The rooms are small but use the space well. The bathroom is tiny but again, this is a guest house and not a four-star hotel. The owner is very friendly and helpful, and for five pounds prepares a wonderful breakfast of a ham sandwich and coffee. The ham (bacon) is fresh from a local butcher. Located 10 minutes by foot from the Minster and central York.
Location was really great, very central and near to the main sights of York City centre. Breakfast was good. Liked the variety and option for a hot breakfast too. I would have preferred it starting slightly earlier but I appreciate most don't get up early at the weekend. All the staff were very friendly and accommodating so that is a real plus. Makes a massive difference to your perception of a short hotel stay.
Best thing was the hotel's location...is five minutes from the train station, ten from the Shambles, YorkMinister and Old City. Rooms were sufficient size, with view of old architecture from them. Front reception staff were wonderful. Check-in and checkout were both quick. We were allowed to store luggage there for several hours on either side of our reservation.
The hotel is in an excellent location for visitors to York, walking distance to various heritage sites. The building itself is very historic, charming and clean, I was upgraded to a junior suite (thank you) which gave a little more space for the 3 night visit. The room was comfortable and well serviced. Breakfast was nice, bar was pleasant and the staff were helpful.
Great hotel which is perfectly located for getting around all the major attractions. Rooms are lovely and clean. Breakfast was excellent and very good value. What really makes this hotel is the Staff each and every one of them were friendly and helpful and next time we return to York we will definitely stay there again.
The hotel is very lovely, everything is decorated well, rooms were clean, an assortment of tea/coffee/hot chocolate in the room. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. We only stayed one night but it was a wonderful stay and I'd definitely stay there again for any time spent in York.
Breakfast was excellent! Room was a good size and location was easy walking distance to York city center. Staff was wonderful and accommodating.
A note to Americans who have not traveled in England before: bring your own washcloths - overnight accommodations do not provide them.
Hotel location was excellent, looked out onto York City walls and we could also see York Minster. A very short walk into the city centre. The breakfast was superb, very tasty it’s been a long time since I’ve enjoyed breakfast in a hotel so much. Staff were brilliant also.
The hotel is conveniently located on a reasonably quiet street in City Centre. It's easy to find, and it serves as a great launch place for a walking adventure in York. The rooms are small but comfortable, as are the bathrooms, which have great walk-in showers.
Hotel was great ,location was very handy for train station and also York city centre, staff were excellent ,room was spotless and breakfast was very good ,plentiful food and good selection, and all very hot, nice bar on site as well , can’t fault anything.
Room was large and spacious. Nice large bed and shower. We were celebrating my birthday and the hotel staff had left some Prosecco and treats for me which was lovely and very much appreciated. Location was 10 minutes walk from the centre of York so ideal.
Stayed the first time because they sponsored my sons Rugby team. Have stayed in two other York hotels but I just love the friendliness and ambiance of the Moxy and its convenience to the Minster and city centre. All the Staff are delightful.
Clean and well looked after hotel. Room was nice and I liked how we were given a room name instead of number. Staff were polite and the breakfast was good. No problem with parking. Will stay there again when next in York.
It was a beautiful hotel, the room finish was immaculate and was very cosy. The location was also great to walk through the gardens to reach the centre of York. Would definitely stay here again!
Great location just outside York City Centre. Value for money. Great breakfast. Clean room. Excellent staff and customer service honestly best staff I’ve seen at a hotel for a long time.
Beautiful boutique hotel with only a short walk to york minister. The staff went above and beyond in so many areas to make our stay perfect! Amazing room called the "Yorkie"
