York UK, small size Edinburg

Small and mighty York is the medieval walled city that really packs a punch. Its backdrop of cobbled lanes, winding ‘Snickelways’ and even a shopping street that dates back to the Domesday Book, mean this compact city is packed with stuff to see. One of my favorites is the cobbled streets of the Shambles, you may feel a familiar nostalgia. This charming neighbourhood is believed to be the inspiration behind Harry Potter’s Diagon Alley! The other things are the impressive 2,000-year-old Gothic halls of its cathedral, or the ridiculously pretty 13th century timbered streets of The Shambles. Take a punt on the horses at its world-famous race course, check out its masses of museums and sample a food scene that spans from Michelin stars to street food in shipping containers. Wash it down with the world’s first carbon-negative gin, or venture to nearby sites as awesome as the city itself. Many nice cafeterias as well.I tried a muffin with English tea.It was really super delicious 😋. Where to stay if you have little budget? Bootham Great for those on a budget, Bootham is a largely residential area, and relatively quiet. You can easily walk to the centre from here, and will meet more locals going about their everyday lives. How to get there: I took a train from Liverpool central to York which less than 2 hours 20 minutes .
