- Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2006 | In Bath, we visit the Georgian House and Roman baths, learn even more about this elegant spa town on a free town walk, drop in on the Fashion Museum and the Museum of Bath at Work, and chuckle our way through the Bizarre Bath street-theater walk. In York, we visit the majestic York Minster, the slice-of-life Yorkshire Museum, and the fun, hands-on National Railway Museum. #ricksteveseurope #york #bathuk

Ahmed Ibrahim Hassan haji Ali sudanese, ha?
I agree ! And what a cruel lie he sets us up for! haha
Ahmed Ibrahim Hassan haji Ali 👌👌👌
Ahmed Ibrahim Hassan haji Ali If only...
I never thought about it but I totally agree with you, sir.
I am Spanish. However, I have lived in England for 21 years, literally half of my life. I can't get enough of it, England is stunningly beautiful, culturally rich, and just so special. I live in the South West and I am totally in love with it.
Where abouts may I ask? I love Devon
@@tomhomer9924 I am in Dorset. Near the New Forest and the beach. Its a gift.
thank you!
@@Lucia-pd6fi was the weather a big adjustment?
@cunt320 Yes, a little bit, particularly as I am from South Spain. However, you learn to appreciate the different seasons and, yes, even rainy days. The only thing I still find difficult is Jan - Feb... the darkness gets me a bit. The rest is fine.
My 6th great grandfather was John Wood, whom designed the circus and much of Bath as well as other important buildings. It was so special to be there and see it!
Also, the Abbey in Bath was where King Edgar was coronated 973 ad. It set the precedent for coronations and ceremonies of all future kings/queens for England and Great Britain.
There are 8,000 bodies under the floors of Bath Abbey, as well as 1,508 memorials covering the floors and walls.
"From Bath, York is just to the North". "Just"! 235 mile nearly 4 hours via the M5!
235 mile is around the corner to Americans, due to the size of there country. 😄
Take the train, the motorway is a nightmare
London to York that is
That's about the distance between Dallas and Houston
It's a pretty short drive by American standards. :-D
I've just discovered Rick Steve's travel programs, and each one I watch is like 25 minutes in heaven. Thankyou.
York is brilliant, one of England's best cities.
Calling York England's best city is a stretch.
@@barbievideo6211 I live in York and I can definitely say people give the city too much credit 😂
@@minidwarfdude9230 me encantaría volver a verla! Qué hermosa es Inglaterra!.
England is truly fascinating place, well kept history, tradition, aesthetically pleasing
Very happy to live just 20minutes drive from bath!
My hometown of Bath where I'm currently on lockdown
DARIO MARCHESI same😂
italian in bath...
My family settled in America from Yorkshire in the 17th century to New York & then later on to the south! York looks amazing , so much history
YORK and YORKSHIRE are 2 different county's..
@@frankogo8547 no they are not, York is within North Yorkshire
@@frankogo8547 There are four administrative county's those being North, West, East and South Yorkshire, however the whole of Yorkshire is one historic county, which York is in, specifically North Yorkshire.
@@frankogo8547 York is a city located within Yorkshire County.
Europe is rich of history and Greenery. I Love it.
Bath and York, two brilliant traditional English cities which are full of history ,culture and customs 👍👍👍!
'Just to the north' of London. Yeahhhh.
Said 2 hours to the north.
I mean as an American, I gotta travel at least 2 hours to get to another state. So it’s all relative I guess.
@@Thursdaym2 It's almost a 4 hour drive!
@@thomHD 2 hours on the high speed train though
@@Eric-ys8do Sorry, but no trains are that fast and with changing lines it is over four hours. I think it is worth pointing out for tourists planning a visit to both places.
England has so many wonderful cities
also hull
I'm so lucky to call this island home. I've visited both York and Bath (Bath just a few weeks ago...the Roman Baths are exceptional!!!!). I tried to visit the Royal Crescent but it was blocked off because they were filming Bridgerton
Indeed u are so lucky to be a Brit .
...omg, truly astonishing video of breathtaking beauty, I am great admirer, adored and completely in love with charismatic Mr. Rick Steves enchanting filmographies, thank you from my heart, love ❤️ you...
Awwwww Bath! My birthplace and where I lived in for 20 years of my life 😍😍😍😍 I worked @ the Roman Baths Museum as a visitors tour guide whilst at sixth form. Definitely would recommend to visit Bath xxxx
He has a nice relaxing voice and cheerful.
Beautiful bath and York great places
Beautiful! I'm from Russia and I like such England, without pathos, with great nature and kind people, with small, but clear streets!))) Very interesting nation with great traditions!
BRITAINS DEVELOPMENT OVER 5,000 YEARS, LEFT IT'S MARK ON THE WORLD---MAINLY FOR THE BETTER--
MAINLY FOR THE BETTER
Дмитрий Латышев does the city of Bath remind you of St. Petersburg? Same era architecture and baroque , neo classical influences
Visit while you can it's fast dying.
I really Iike your comment,I agree
After over 10 years of wanting to go, I finally visited Yorkshire this year. York is great but I liked Whitby even better, an incredible location right on the sea and great fish and chips.
While at Whitby I hope you visited Robin Hood Bay just down the coast....
@@theflashingblade283 absolutely!
It should not be forgotten that York was the English capitol Long, long, long before the village of london......
If watches most of Rick Stevens traveling show,,every time its like discovering a hidden germ,,,ths travel show has been keeping me entertained throughout out the Lockdown in Namibia,,,,,,i like discovering new places and ths show does that,,thnx for the up loads❤️👍👍🇨🇩
I must let you know about a little gem in Somerset, a small village called Dunster, a place i know well and very dear to my heart! Dunster is the prettiest place in Somerset, and has a slow paced feel to it, even in high season. The castle is gorgeous, but the village itself and surrounding hills are a joy to explore, and that old yarn market building is the perfect place to take a load of your feet and do some people watching or just to get out of the heat! I first visited in 1991 and last went there in june last year, its sad but while all my friends go to tenerife or typical spanish tourist traps, i would rather stay in the uk and explore what we have here, and i adore the uk, the landscape changes every few miles or more, though i have been abroad many times, i feel happiest in the uk because it allows me to appreciate our small island even more.
I do love dunster
Alexandra Starr Photography you must visit Ireland then too you would love it
@@alexandermorrisonhagan1820 pass Dunster Castle on my way to Lynton and Lynmouth, maybe next year I will get round to visiting it...
@@carolsnook4659 morning sweet, you won't be disappointed 😀
I live in the south west but have never heard about Dunster. So thank you, I will visit there.
Bath is my favorite british city. So beautiful.
Helena Karlsson Yeah I love Bath but York is probably my favourite dew to the fact it has seen so much of Englands history.
dew?
YEAH--THERE'S PLENTY OF THAT IN BATH
Sorry English
@@MrDaiseymay lol..
Bath is such a beautiful city, amazing architecture, incredible gothic churches 💕💕💕and of course Roman Baths.
Bauitiful York surrounded by the yorkshire ridings.
Most beautiful building on the earth
Feels like I already went to England because of Steve's documentaries.. Thank you so much
great heritage...lovely... ENGLAND!!
He forgot to mention York's most breathtaking sight. The hordes of absolutely trolleyed, horrendously dressed hen parties roving the streets at 3pm on Saturday. It's truly a remarkable thing.
That's not exclusive to York though. All of England is one big hen party.
York in the early to late evening experiences a strange transformation. It goes from being one of the most beautiful cities in England, to a chav infested jungle. 😉
Haha so true 😁😂🤣
Lovely showcase of York. What does everyone love about York and Bath? Two very similar cities with lots of history
I visited York in a rainy day. So impressive with its history and stuningbuildings.
I've lived in bath and York I do have to say I feel super lucky 🤗
TRIVIA. If you're in Bath, you might like to visit the grave of Frederic Weatherly, one of Bath's most notable residents. You may not of heard of him, but just about everyone in the English speaking world knows of his famous song, which is one of the most sung and recorded songs of all time. Just about all of the greats including Elvis have sung Danny Boy.
Hey Rick!, I just want to thank you and your entire team for making these wonderful videos, they are truly a delight to watch especially during this period when we are all locked up inside our homes battling the invisible Covid 19!
Bath is truly remarkable!
I would love to visit England. Thank you for these videos...
Just returned from a couple of days in York (actually visiting the racecourse there, but that's another story!) and it seemed even more beautiful than I remembered from my last visit a while back. A jewel of a place, with grand vistas everywhere you look. York is a very fine city too. We messed up a lot of our cities during the Industrial Revolution - though even places like Manchester and Birmingham are much nicer than they were even just a few years ago - but thank goodness we retained the charm and appearance of places like Bath and York.
I gave my yorkie a bath today and so was reminded of this video.
My family is Roman Catholic, Jamaica, genteel and prominent. I was christened in the Church of England.
Beautiful Bath and York!
Go back to Jamaica, this isn't your home
Thankyou for showing my beautiful City of Bath. Of which I am so proud to have been born and brought up in.
A visit to Bath is a trip back in time
Architecturally the 18th centry. Socially the 1970's
I disagree, it's extremely modern
I'm surprised that these American made videos of Bath---all fail to mention the fine 'American Museum 'of Pioneer art and genuine historic Artifacts there in. The Museum, a Georgian Manor House, perched on a hill overlooking the city, was gifted by the city to the US embassy post war. This is an excellent video by the way.
I wonder if it's because most Americans wouldn't be interested in an American museum while they're in Europe. For instance, if I were visiting England, I'd want to immerse myself in English culture, not look for the American stuff.
I've never heard of this and I researched Bath a lot back in the summer before I visited it. Will have to look it up.
@@trigonomic I am American and a museum lover and would go any and all American and European museums anywhere in Europe. 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 😊😃
Well, surprisingly, they will tell you, that there are many US treasures on display there, that are NOT, on display in America. The assumption is, that the British brought them home here, after the independance War. @@trigonomic
Well said. if you are interested in history, there should be no exclusions. @@danielleporter1829
Love your show Rick Steves. You are one of the best travel shows along with anthony Bourdain, Action Bronson, thank you for all of these wonderful shows of places from around the world it’s awesome.
I’ve been in both cities, and they are simply gorgeous!!! Bath is close to Stonehenge, perfect for a quick trip. ♥️♥️
The green and pleasant land.
In parts.
I always read that in the British novel, people went to Bath for vacation or illness treatment.
It is a Spa town , so yes they go for the healing waters,that is how it got its name(like Baden Baden in Germany).people also like it for its architecture and proximity to the countryside.
So lovely and peaceful country ,sir Rick Steves I loved your channel Excellent god bless and peace
This channel is so relaxing ☕️
love channel ,im from VIETNAM ....this country so beautyful
Yes, I totally agree with you.
I have been these 2 cities two years ago, they are way more fascinating than London!
I live in bath and this makes me want to go visit it
I live very close to Bath and love the city. It is a very pretty city and has everything you would need
Bath features prominently in Jane Austen's books, as a popular vacation spot/getaway.
As always, Rick does a great job. I kinda wish, though, that he spent a tad less time on York’s churches; but, of course, they’re important, too. Perhaps focusing more on Clifford’s Tower, the Museum of Everyday life, the Shmbles, and - yes - the national railroad museum.
I lived York for 13 years, and now i’m living in bath, been here 5 years! both are great places to live
BEAUTIFUL BATH
I prefer a shower.
... always thankful to charismatic Mr. Rick Steves for phenomenal job, enchanting videos very splendid and very appreciated, thank you, love ❤️ you...
I live in Bath, this was weird to watch 😂
Are you obsessed with baths?
Lara Ward I am from Vermont USA and have been to England twice and love love your city it’s my favorite Europe’s city your lucky.
I also live in t'bath. It's about time I got out, I'm starting to dissolve
Same aha
Same, and some of the stuff he said wasn’t true or accurate lol
Beautiful documentary as always.
I loved visiting Bath, will definitely return and stay longer next time around.
Go to FRANCE instead it's better than here in ENGLAND 100%
watching my way through all of rick steves guides - such a great, informative, modest host. thumbs up :)
Thank you so mcuh for taking me back to Bath!! I absolutely loved it 😍and hope to return one day! I adore the times of Jane Austin, and Bath is typical. Also enjoy Rick’s easy and informative talks.
Both cities are amazing! Both are founded by Romans. You can still find so many ancient artefacts just walking down streets of York and Bath.
Those outtakes where he's trying - and failing - to get on a train (any train, just let the producer call a wrap!) are rather funny.
Quiet Street is named as it went past the old hospital and had wooden cobbles to keep the noise down for the benefit of the patients.
Two well underrated cities, jolly well done
Why who underrates them???
Amazing video, I live in the USA and when I want to show someone where I’m from, I show them this video
Jan 2021, stuck in lockdown ... a good reminder of these lovely places that we can't visit
haven't been there but..for me looks like one of the finest heritage in england..
The three years which I spent at University in Bath were the happiest of my life. It's a beautiful Georgian city with Roman origins - the only place in England where really hot water pours out of the ground! Bath is also just fifteen minutes by rail from Bristol, which is also worth a visit!
I haven't made it to York yet but Bath is beautiful.
I hope you do make it up to York. I'm in the opposite boat. I've been to York many times and it's gorgeous, though for me it's especially beautiful at Christmas, mostly for nostalgic reasons.
I'd love to make my way down to Bath someday and see how it compares.
A gorgeous city.
I'm from Bath writing this whilst in the Maldives and it's strange to watch this film about my hometown during the epidemic .
This was clearly made when times were easier and less regulated than now
Nice job Rick👍
Bath and York love love York my .Churches and services a favourite.
I love you, Rick Steves.
Rick Steves is a absolutely Legend! I always watch your videos , especially before I go travelling!
i am love in it, live in it!
My mom and I had an England trip planned for this September, but with COVID we’re still not sure if it’ll happen. I’m glad to get to see it through these videos for now - they’re a close second to actually being there :)
Don't worry brother you will go one day
Padimi Tv thanks friend! It’s worth the wait :)
@@brianwarner2171 np 😊😊
I was hoping to go hiking in Utah this summer, but Covid put paid to that. Hope you can make it over soon.
Always loved watching midsomer murders because of its picturesque wonderful settings and lovely culture, tradition and people. Rick Steve's videos are my new found gem. Will visit England one day
Wow, I've never heard anyone refer to York as being "just north of London".
Everything comes from LONDON SMH
Haha almost completely other side of England. That’s a good point. To be fair the whole country is the same size as my state in the US (Utah) and a few hour drive isn’t that big of a deal for someone traveling across the world to come see some of your amazing cities!
Beautiful. Miss it so much..
Trains needn't be so expensive if you know where to look and when to book. Don't buy your ticket at the station - you'll be stung. Pre-book online.
I agree--he should have disguised his US accent
thanks for the tip, m8
Exactly. UK trains are actually some of the cheapest in Europe if you pre-book tickets online a couple of weeks in advance.
Yep. They're only expensive if like me, you find that when you reach the station you've lost your ticket and have to buy a new one for £130 from London to Newcastle. XD But really, if you can be flexible with your days, you can get them at decent prices.
We Americans are so lucky that we have a strong British heritage we would have been doomed if our heritage would have been Chinese for example. The Brits are a perfect example of an altruistic people and this was and is a part of our great and wonderful heritage.
The native americans werent so lucky. Drake robbing the spanish,
creating race based slavery, India, wiping out the native north
americans? dumping criminals in australia and letting them wipe out the
aboriginees, flooding china with opium? South Africa? Talk about denial.
How are British more altruistic than chinese?
A Smth It wasn’t the British that slaughtered millions of native Americans. That was an all-American effort.
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 wow
Such a beautiful place ❤️
went to Bath 2016 and it did not disappoint, exceptional town & the roman baths alone was worth the trip, but got the surprise of the whole package!
Rick you have been promoted to the big screen to watch your playlist in Europe.
These videos make us think to move to these small cities to have a peaceful enjoyable environment rather than a hectic populated big cities hustle.
I've always wanted to go to Bath such a beautiful place with its Roman architecture.
I live in Bath!
Thanks for sharing, they are both my 2 favourite cities in the UK too 😊
EXCELLENT RICK---A FRESH LOOK AT OUR HISTORY FROM A VISITORS PERSPECTIVE.
I'm fortunate to have spent my childhood in Bath and the years since then in york. I've always said york is gothic bath haha, we even have a white horse too
by the way, bath and york are MILES away from each other. Just so you know. Both are well worth a visit
Rick Steves is, of course, American. A couple of hundred miles is nothing to an American.
I think the distance seems less to Americans who tend to think in terms of time rather than miles,what they also fail to appreciate are the cultural nuances that would occur between these two places,to them they would be just a couple of old towns three hours apart.
It's breath taking
Pleasent educational time passing pleasurable
Beautiful 👍🏻
2:40 is beautiful. Awesome Architecture. I want to build a new big city incorporating the best architects of the world. Inspired by the most prized various architectural developments from around the world.
OMG People of the Future will think all women ran around in a 'tacky' J-Lo Dress in the early 2000's. I hope they put a disclaimer by the dress....Just One Woman wore this! 13:22
Real happiness
