Why Choose a York Weekend Break

Weekend breaks in York are the ideal way to head out of the city and experience some historical charm. This ancient city will give you a warm welcome as you embrace its gorgeous historical attractions, charming café culture, and, of course, the best York hotels.

Some of the most incredible attractions in England grace the city, and yet it’s easy enough to stroll from attraction to attraction at your own pace. There’s something for everyone here, from tea lovers and museum-goers to those with a more ghoulish taste in entertainment.

A train ride to York Station only takes about two hours or so from London and Glasgow, making it the ideal weekend getaway in the UK. And luckily for you, myhotelbreak has all the best York hotel deals for you to enjoy up to the last minute.

Attractions to Visit in York, England

For a fairly small city, York has many incredible and interesting historical sights to visit. Bask in the beauty and ancient majesty of these museums and creations from yesteryear during short breaks in York for a weekend trip you’ll be hard-pressed to forget. And don’t worry about transport — York railway station and bus services will save you the trouble of walking everywhere.

Here are just some of the best sights to see when you take advantage of deals on hotels in York.

See the Famous JORVIK Viking Centre

A 9th-century Viking settlement was uncovered in York in the 1970s, and the JORVIK Viking Centre was built on that very site. It includes a superbly detailed recreation of Viking life as it would have been at that time, including incredibly detailed animatronics.

The village has been reconstructed as closely as possible to its original state, down to the smells. It also shows some of the artefacts that were dug up from the site. An audio guide will tell you more about Viking life as you peruse the visuals, but it’s certainly a must on your York mini break.

Be Entranced by York Minster

Dominating the York skyline, the magnificent Gothic-style York Minster is most famous as the seat of the Archbishop of York, but it hosts impressive treasures, too. Its stained glass windows form the largest collection in Britain, the most famous of which is the Five Sisters Window and the Great East Window.

York Minster is the largest Gothic cathedral in England, with hundreds of years of history hidden within its walls. As such, it’s one of the top sights to visit when you’re on a weekend break in York.

Get a Fright at York Dungeon

If thrills are what you seek, stop by York Dungeon to delve into the darker side of York’s past. The live shows, special effects, horrendous sets, and live actors are bound to send shivers up your spine and make your knees buckle.

The Dungeon portrays some of the most insidious characters from York’s past, making it a must-see during your stay in York.

Visit York Castle Museum

There’s no need to imagine what Victorian York looked like – York Castle Museum has music-filled rooms fitted out in 1960s splendour, and a recreation of a Victorian Street called Kirkgate. History buffs will delight in this immersive experience.

You can even step into historically accurate shops such as chemists, fudge makers, hatters, and tailors, surrounded by the sounds of horse-drawn carriages. There are even actors in period clothes playing real characters who you can chat with. It is truly a novel way to spend a weekend break when choosing hotel deals in York.

Go to the Grand Opera House

Restored in the 1980s, the Grand Opera House is a stunning piece of history. The theatre has even been restored to its original period glamour and now hosts live comedy shows, music performances, and even musicals. Check their schedule to see what’s on while you’re in town on your York stay.

Stop By the National Railway Museum

There’s something special about the enormous National Railway Museum that houses more than 100 locomotives, including famous trains like the Mallard and Shinkansen bullet train.

History buffs will also love the collection of royal trains, including ones used by King Edward II and Queen Victoria. With over a million pieces to show in its curated collection, the museum is truly a work of art and deserving of some time during weekend breaks in York.

Things to Do on York City Breaks

Exploring York has never been this fun. Beyond the main attractions, there’s a host of amazing things to do in the city on your weekend break in York. Enjoying the buzzing bars or stopping by one of the many coffee or tea shops is just the beginning.

Shop in the Shambles

The Shambles is possibly the most famous street in York, and conveniently within walking distance of York Minster. Its shabby-looking overhangs and pretty cobbled 15th-century buildings packed tightly together make it a great location to stroll past on York breaks.

Visit the quaint shops, including a popular Harry Potter store, and stop by chocolatiers for a divine taste of artisan goodies. You can also stop by the daily Shambles Market in York city centre for fresh produce, heavenly treats, fresh flowers, and trinkets.

Walk the Historic City Walls

Built by the Romans almost 2,000 years ago, the city walls of York form a glorious 3.4km circuit that is almost perfectly preserved. During your short break in York, take two hours to walk the walls and enjoy the beautiful views of the city.

Indulge at Betty’s Tea Room

Stop by the famous Betty’s Tea Room for an English afternoon tea you won’t forget in a hurry. No stay in York can be complete without indulging in the decadent treats served in the gorgeous and historic tea room at Betty’s.

Indulge in delicate tea cakes and scones, dainty sandwiches, and delightful teas that tantalise your taste buds as a pianist trills the ivories in the background. Even if you polish off all of your treats, you’ll happily be served more tea and sandwiches. Book your spot in advance to avoid missing out.

Enjoy a Cruise on the River Ouse

There’s nothing like a cruise to put you in that holiday frame of mind. Taking one along the Ouse River allows you to enjoy views of central York from a captivating angle. You’ll see quaint façades of riverside houses and delightful restaurants along the cobbled banks.

Not to mention the Millenium Bridge near York Racecourse that runs to Clifford’s Tower. For the best lighting and photos, take an early evening cruise when the sun is entering that perfect hour and dripping its golden glow over the city.

Take a Harry Potter Walking Tour

Potterheads will love the opportunity to stroll amongst the muggles at iconic movie locations such as Diagon Alley and the train station with Platform 9 ¾. You’ll have a chance to prove your Pottermania in quizzes against fellow tourists, all the while learning more about historic York as well.

Imagine how much fun your pet will have strolling through the historic city centre with you, or wandering the open parks. Just bear in mind that not all of the attractions you might want to visit will be pet-friendly, so consider this before you get your furry friend checked in.

These gyms typically have 24-hour access, so any time of the day is a good time to get your blood pumping.

Perhaps you prefer your workouts to be outdoors. In that case, some of our hotels for weekend breaks in York that are further out from York city centre have golf courses in their local area. Indulge in the temptation to take a 9-hole break before you head to the city’s attractions. Fore!

There are a variety of ways in which our hotel packages in York can accommodate you. Some simply offer rooms for a family of three that include a sofa bed for one extra person. Some can supply a cot for babies, while others may offer rooms fitting up to five people, with the option of interconnecting rooms. This is ideal for keeping the family together while allowing everyone a bit of privacy and space.

For York hotel breaks, many hotels have accessible room options, including lowered fixtures, safety features, and ease of access. This means that if you’re on a short break in York and use a wheelchair, you will have more independence and convenience during your stay.
