UK Travel Tips ‘n’ Tweets: What to do and see in York
Written by Karen Bryan
I was in York for a two night short break in February 2010, courtesy of Visit York. I asked for York travel tips on the blog and Twitter, as I always like to have readers input on Europe a la Carte. Below you can read some tips ‘n’ tweets to help you plan your trip to York. If you have recommendations for great York attractions, please leave a comment and I’ll add your York travel tip to the post, with a link to your site/blog (if applicable).

Travel Tips
Celia Don’t miss the Holy Trinity Church, the Yorkshire Museum Gardens and the restaurant-bar Biltmore. Ah and Castle Museum is also a must see!
A Lady in London I highly recommend a visit to St Martin le Grand church, lunch at J Baker’s Bistro Moderne, and tea at Little Bettys Cafe.

If you plan to visit a lot of York attractions you should look into buying a York Pass.

I was just in York a couple of weekends ago. I highly recommend a visit to St Martin le Grand church, lunch at J Baker’s Bistro Moderne, and tea at Little Bettys Cafe.
I went to York back in April and was very impressed. Any place with both Romans and Vikings gets my vote. The Jorvik Centre lived up to its reputation, as did the Minster. There are a number of fun walking tours of the city – I did the chocolate tour and the ghost tour. Both great fun.
