About York
York - England's Most Historic City
York is one of the most beautifully preserved historic cities in Europe, where two millennia of history are visible at every turn. Founded by the Romans as Eboracum in 71 AD, the city later became the Viking capital of Jorvik, then a prosperous medieval trading centre. The magnificent York Minster, one of the largest Gothic cathedrals in Northern Europe, dominates the skyline with its stunning medieval stained glass windows. The Shambles, with its overhanging timber-framed buildings, is often cited as the inspiration for Diagon Alley in Harry Potter. You can walk the complete 2.5-mile circuit of the medieval city walls, the longest in England. The JORVIK Viking Centre brings the city's Norse heritage to life, while the National Railway Museum houses the world's largest collection of historic trains. The University of York and York St John University bring academic life to the city. York is the perfect gateway to the Yorkshire Dales, North York Moors, and the historic houses of Castle Howard and Harewood. Whether you are exploring centuries of history, enjoying the thriving food scene, or using York as a base for Yorkshire adventures, this extraordinary city never disappoints.
