Eboracum romana: Los cimientos del pasado

En septiembre, retroceda a la época romana, cuando Eboracum, como se conocía a York, era una bulliciosa plaza fuerte del Imperio Romano. Las ruinas de las murallas romanas de la ciudad, la Torre Multangular y el Museo del Ejército de York ofrecen una visión de la vida de los soldados y ciudadanos que un día recorrieron estas calles. Explore el Museo de las Termas Romanas, que desvela la lujosa cultura del baño que prosperó aquí hace siglos.

El misterio de la Torre de Clifford

Con la llegada de septiembre, aventúrese a visitar la Torre de Clifford, un lugar emblemático que encierra entre sus muros historias de triunfo y tragedia. Esta torre medieval, situada en lo alto de un montículo, ha sido testigo del flujo y reflujo de la historia, desde sus orígenes como torre del homenaje normanda hasta su papel en la historia judía durante el siglo XII. Su imponente presencia ofrece vistas panorámicas de la ciudad, y sus piedras susurran historias de lucha y resistencia.

Los Shambles: Una maravilla medieval

Wander the narrow lanes of The Shambles, a street that has retained its mediaeval charm through the ages. In September, the warm hues of autumn complement the timber-framed buildings that lean precariously over the cobbled street. This well-preserved corner of York takes you back to the Middle Ages when it was a bustling marketplace and a haven for merchants.

La catedral de York: Un testamento del tiempo

Septiembre es un buen momento para visitar York Minster, una catedral que es testimonio de la historia espiritual y arquitectónica de la ciudad. Su grandeza gótica, la mayor catedral medieval del norte de Europa, es un espectáculo digno de contemplar. Suba a la Torre Central para disfrutar de unas vistas panorámicas de la ciudad y explore las intrincadas vidrieras que cuentan historias de fe y devoción.

Tesoros ocultos en los museos

If you’re a history buff, York is the perfect place for you. Not only is the city itself historic and full of things to explore, but it also is home to several museums that should be on your itinerary. York’s museums hold a treasure trove of artefacts that offer insights into the city’s history. The York Castle Museum, situated within the former debtors’ prison, recreates the past through its immersive exhibits. The Yorkshire Museum showcases archaeological finds, from prehistoric artefacts to Roman relics. September’s gentle ambiance is perfect for a leisurely exploration of these repositories of history.

Explore el río Ouse con cruceros urbanos

The best way to see this ancient city in September is by the water. Explore the famous River Ouse with City Cruises York, on your very own self-drive motorboat on the York Self Drive Boat Hire. Cruise the River Ouse just like the Vikings did, and explore the city, creating your tour, focusing on sights and areas of interest for you, rather than an entire group.

Or if you fancy something in the evening, perhaps a romantic setting, the York Floodlit Evening Cruise is the perfect way to end your day of exploring the city’s attractions and activities, especially in the fall. Cruise the River Ouse for a relaxing nightcap (a refreshing glass of prosecco is included with your ticket) where you can see the city from a new perspective at twilight.
