I live in York I love this video it's great my home city is a beauty 😍
It really is a beauty! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the video - thank you for watching and leaving us a comment! 😊
Hi. I'm planing to join York University. I just wanted to know how are the part time jobs for international students?
@@sanjaykrishna2490 York is really good with students wanting jobs if you go on indeed theres loads going for just students
Thanks. That helped me :)
I know right I've been. it's about 45ish minutes away from where I live. my favourite time of year is when the river floods its really pretty from the bridge near clifforts tower
I visited York on Saturday with a friend and it was brilliant! Your video gave me lots of ideas and helped me and my friend prepare our trip. I was in awe most of the time, as there was so much to see and in such a small area. It's a wonderful city with lovely people. I highly recommend a visit. Two or three days is enough to enjoy most of the sights, but it is possible to cram in lots in one day too. One can see lots of things for free so it doesn’t have to be an expensive trip. Parking was £16 as we stayed for more than 5 hours. Our (free) visit to the York Art Gallery was our highlight. Thank you for sharing your tour.
Thanks for sharing your trip, I'm glad you had a nice time 🙂 There really is so much to do given the size, we've been many times and still not done it all! Agree that 2 or 3 days would be a good amount of time for a visit
I’ve been there so many times I recognise every sight that are in this video
You must have been a lot 😄 York is one of those places that we love revisiting too!
Wow, York, England looks stunning. We can't wait for this covid to go away so we can go. The architecture is pretty amazing. Thanks for the guide. It will be helpful when we go.
Im moving there in a month 😍
I live here and it's the best 😍😍😍

9:48 For someone who isn’t particularly interested in trains, THANK YOU for using the correct terminology! You quite clearly actually paid attention and did your research before talking about it. It is so infuriating to me the amount of people who call locomotives “trains” and whatnot.
Thank you, I do try my best with the research 😊 And thanks a lot for watching and taking the time to comment - it's much appreciated!
Wow, that's a beautiful video: stuffed with useful informations and in 12 minutes only. Amazing. Thanks guys!
Thanks very much, I'm glad you found it useful! Thanks for watching 😊

Amazing place with great history... I remember the movie The Reign and Downtown Abby because it was about UK too.
Those little cat statues on the streets intrigued me the most.
Pretty cool, right? 🙂👍
Thanks to this video, York, specifically is now higher on my bucket list than before.
Thanks good to hear 😊 Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the video
Great city guide! Walking around the wall looks like a great activity and we like the quirkiness of the cat trail 😸
Thank you! Yes, the cat trail is a fun one and walking the walls is my favourite - a must do every time we visit, even if it's just walking a section of the wall! Thanks for watching 😊
Great video ☺️ foodie market and medieval attractions are what I’m interested in
Right up your street then! 😊 Thanks for watching
Well done! 👏🏼
Thanks! 😀

one of our fave cities - so beautiful x thanks so much for sharing - hope you have a lovely New Year x
It really is a beautiful city. Thanks for watching, and happy new year!
Wow you weren't kidding about there being a lot to do in York! I absolutely love the medieval streets. 365 pubs sounds amazing and quite dangerous at the same time 😅. We can't wait to visit this beautiful city someday!
There's even more to do than we included in this video - we have narrowed it down! Ha yes, I can't imagine trying to get around all those pubs 😂 Thanks for watching!
Another awesome video 💯
Makes me want to go back for the cat trail! 🐈👍
😻
Just found your channel and I had to subscribe immediately! Your video is very informative, visually pleasing and I enjoy your narration too. I will be in York this fall for the first time, and having already watched multiple vlogs about York, I feel like you have the most thorough and helpful video that I have seen. I hope you continue posting content, and am going to look at the previous videos on your channel.
Thank you, and welcome! 👋 I'm glad you liked the video. Hope you have a great time in York!
York looks stunning! 😍 And there's so much to do! Definitely want to go here someday
You should!
Me too💜💜💜
Absolutely! York is a beautiful city with a rich history and plenty of things to explore. From its charming medieval streets to its historic landmarks like York Minster, you'll have an amazing time wandering around. Don't forget to try some local delicacies and maybe even take a walk along the city walls for some fantastic views. You'll definitely have a memorable visit when you make it here someday! 😊🏰🍂
cool video. informative and cool pictures. thanks for sharing. :-)
Such a gorgeous place! We hope we'll be able to visit the UK again soon! :-)
I loved that museum when I was a kid!!! The smells and sights. I can't wait to go back.
Tbh I still enjoyed it even as an adult 😀
This is an awesome list! We have never been here and this makes me want to go. I definitely want to go to the shambles!
It helped me a LOT for my Presentation abaout York. Thanks
Excellent, glad we could help! Good luck with your presentation :)
Love York used to go all the time the dungeons are cool too xx
Yeaahhh, the dungeons are great fun! Thanks for watching 🙂
Thanks a lot for the video. It is really great! I was there in 1999. And I want to visit it again.
Thanks very much, I appreciate that! It's definitely been long enough for a return trip, I hope you are able to go back 🙂
Thanks for this, visiting York in august and very much looking forward to it.

..Yorkshire gods own Country...💙💛💙💛💙💛💛💖💕💕💕👏👏🌼🌻🌸🌸💞
There's just so much to do there, you could visit again and again.
Yorkshire! ❤
Great place I enjoyed watching ur videos 😊👍
Nice to see u friend and happy new year 🎊🎆
What a lovely day. My good friend is from there. I have always wanted to visit with her.
I love York ❤❤❤❤ I go there several times a year 🙂 thank you for sharing
So do we - lovely city to visit! Thanks for watching 😊
That’s g8 to know that 💜💜💜
Still love this video, really accurate and inspiring. Im a native tourist😂. We end up going there every year. Weve been 5 times and it still never grows old
There's so much to do, totally understand the repeat visits 🙂 (we don't get bored of it either!) Thanks for watching our video!
Hello there, oh yes this is so close to our home, thank you for sharing this beautiful video, and your tips, knowledge, we been to your 4 times, and when allowed again we will visit again, take care and have a fab day, York is superb, we loved, Yorvik Viking Center and York Castel Museum, 😊👍
It's definitely a place worth repeat visiting, I've lost count of the number of times I've been now! Thank you for watching, I hope it isn't too long until you are able to visit again 🙂
Wow such a great and informative video!! That pulled pork sandwich looked amazing 😍
Thank you! Yep, their pulled pork sandwiches are so good 🙂 Thanks for watching!
I’m going to York tomorrow, thanks for your video. It’s very helpful.
You're welcome! Hope you have a fun day 🙂
I visited York about 5 times in the 1970's and always stayed in the Coach House Hotel. I hope to go back there one time.
I hope you are able to return soon 🙂
I would absolutely love to visit York!! I have always heard of the York Minster and I would for sure pay the admission to go inside of that beauty! I can't say I am shocked about the amount of bars and pubs but that is really impressive that you could go to a different one everyday for a year without visiting one twice 😮Awesome video you guys! I'll have to refer to this video when we visit because it's packed with loads of awesome information! 👍
Glad you found it helpful! It's definitely worth the admission into the Minster, and I realise I forgot to mention that once you pay for your ticket you can use it to re-enter as many times as you like for the next 12 months (which I appreciate is more useful for us who are relatively local!). Thanks for watching
The walls are great for picnics too!
Never done that but great suggestion! 😃
I didn’t know that thanks for the info 💜💜💜
@@OurTravelPlace right💜💜💜🦄
York is awesome,thankyou :)
It really is, we love it! Thank you for watching 🙂
Love this xxx
Thank you! 😊
Hello from Ireland...Ill definitely go there
Hello to you in Ireland! I hope you have fun when you go 🙂 Thanks for watching and saying hello! 👋
I love York,
Probably the best place left in England ❤️
York is fascinating! Thanks for your recommendations on the pubs.. we’ve been to a few of them but have noted down some new ones 😉🍹😋 Well put together video guys! Happy new year both .. Michelle and Andy 🚐😃
oo which ones are new for you? Any pub recommendations you have for us are welcome too for our future trips. We've tried a fair few over the years but there's still plenty left for us to try! 😂 Happy new year guys
@ukyorkie1 oh yes, we have heard that! That would be one interesting year!
i live in york
This was a wonderful video! Great capture of the city. Ben’s been before but I still haven’t gotten there yet. I just want to eat all the Yorkshire puddings there 😋 you did a nice job of capturing the history, culture, and architecture there in addition to the delicious food!
Thank you! You should have the Yorkshire pudding wrap if you do ever get to visit then 🙂
@@OurTravelPlace I will absolutely keep that in mind :) thanks!
Super nice! Really! What an amazing trip! : )
Thanks for watching!
Amazing video
York is amazing city
Thank you, and yes, it is an amazing city! Thanks for watching :)
Brilliant video!
Planning to visit fir my 30th in september and I was going to miss the train museum but actually it sounds kinda fun now lol
Excellent, I hope you have a fantastic 30th birthday!
This is a fantastic guide! Love the architecture in York, good to hear about the candy shops! I have never heard about the haunted side of York, now I am extra interested to come visit when life is back to normal! :)
Glad you enjoyed the guide, hopefully it won't be too much longer until you can visit! Thanks for watching
Albeit I'm a Scotsman, I must admit that York is truly beautiful.
It really is!
I live in york - come visit our city, i recommend the walls!
Walking the walls is one of my favourite things to do in York 🙂
Little Italy is a superb Italian restaurant in the middle of York and worth a visit when in the area
Thanks for the recommendation. I've just googled them and the food looks delicious! 🙂
such a beautiful place 👍🏼
It certainly is!
Realy good vedio
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it 🙂 Thanks for watching!
Thanks for your videos
Thanks for watching! 😀
Ohhh wow how cool does York look!! I’m so gutted I didn’t get to go there!! I would defiantly be In That wizards shop!! So many yummy places that burger looked so good!! What a great place!! That’s church is stunning!! So many thing to do!! A fantastic video with in depth info!! :)
The wizard shop is Harry Potter and there's I think 3 or 4 of them on the Shambles! I guess there are so many of them because The Shambles was rumoured to be the inspiration for Diagon Ally (I can see why from looking at the street), but as far as I know it was just a rumour and isn't actually true! 😂
I love York too! I am actually from York myself and am very proud :) I would recommend the sweet shop on the shambles! 🍬
@@kristineprocter1773 Thanks for your recommendation! We visit York regularly (in normal times anyway, not right now of course!) so will have to try it on a future trip :)
My city! Happy new year!
And what a great city it is! Happy new year to you too
I want to travel here 💜
@AngloGirl85UK I live in York and I think I know what he means and Im sure you do too. You're probably being sarcastic or racist. At least someone like him knows how to embrace different cultures and promote them in a positive way, unlike you who sounds very insecure.
WELL DONE
Thank you! And thanks for watching
Ohhhhh the food in the intro looked incredible :D York and Chester are quite similar I think. I love having a little walk on the walls. You have shown York in a lovely light. Will defo be taking a trip here ... When we can!
Yeah we've been to Chester too, it's also a lovely small city. There definitely are similarities between the two. Thanks for watching!
Woah I live there
I want to visit all of those pubs!
Perhaps if you ever go back to York in the future 🙂
Thank you for this video from New Zealand we have been to York but only spent one day visiting, not long enough
And there is even more than we included in this video, you could easily fill a few days in York! It is a great day trip choice though. Thanks for watching Terry 🙂
@@OurTravelPlace next we are in the UK we hope to spend more time in York
I highly recommend to go on the Mad Alice tour around York its amazing!!!
Just googled it and it sounds right up our street! Thanks for the recommendation 🙂
Love York❤️️
Us too! ❤
After watching this video i assumed you would have at least half a million subs. I am off to York tomorrow and now i know what i will be doing
Wow, thanks very much! Not quite half a million subs, but only 498,595 left to go 😄 Thanks for watching and I hope you have a fantastic day in York tomorrow
Hey guys. i absolutely loved watching this video, We are a South Africa couple but my mom was born is England and more specifically in York. It was so lovely to see where my mom is from. We unfortunately havent been able to get over to the UK yet but this made us really want to come asap. Will defs keep your video in mind for when we do go :) thank you for an exceptional video. We loved it
I'm glad we were able to show you where your mum is from - it's a really fun, beautiful city - and I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching and commenting 😊
Estive nessa cidade 2x no ano passado em uma viagem para Inglaterra 🇬🇧😍❤
Hope you had a great time!
Okay you convinced me.
Thanks for all the detail here. I especially loved the bit about the cat sculptures (cat lover). I think that'd be a great way to do a foot tour - not sure about anyone else but for me it'd stop me from getting TOO overwhelmed by all the history (I tend to get a bit bogged down in learning sometimes)
Yes I see what you mean about the cat trail being good as a walking route around f the city if you aren't wanting all the extra information you would get as part of a walking tour 🙂 I hope you enjoy looking for the cats! Thanks for watching
@@OurTravelPlace one day!
From a fellow cat lover in York, we now have our own cat cafe, too! The Cat's Whiskers does require paid booking and no children under 10 are allowed, but I have been there a few times and it's lovely! :)
You had us at sweet tooth! Lol 😂 But in all honesty, York looks absolutely stunning! Everyday we want to visit England more and more!
Do it! (and when you do, add Yorkshire to your list of places! 😄). Thanks for watching 🙂
Thanks for the Tips, awesome video. Hope you are doing fine :)
woow england so beautiful my friend greetings from indonesia
wow very very nice, great guide, wonderful places to visit. i may be not to go to haunted york hahaha.
This is so amazing and cinematic. I love your content. I'm looking forward to many more ❤😍
Thank you! 😊
Oh my city!
It's a great city!
Thank you for sharing Yorkshire is beautiful town ..going to be my next trip , I been in England many time but always I stayed in Londoon, I never been in Yorkshire.
Yorkshire is a beautiful part of the country, I hope you enjoy it when you visit! You have fun cities with plenty to do like York, and then there are lovely towns and villages, countryside and coast... plenty to keep you busy 🙂 I hope you have a great future trip! Thanks for watching
@@OurTravelPlace you welcome I’m sure I’m going to like it I love to see village and country side ❤️
very nice,i want ti visit.
Great❤
Beautiful city
It really is!
There is a lot of interesting things to do in York! Would love to see the City Walls, the Shambles, York Minster, York Castle Museum and York Museum Gardens in particular. But everything looked like it would be either fun or informative or delicious! We did not make it to York on our one previous trip to England. Maybe we will have to stop through once international travel is a thing again. Thanks for sharing so much about this medieval city with us!
It's definitely worth adding to your next England trip itinerary. There's plenty of awesome places to visit here up north!
