Airline tickets and cheap flights price comparison

York is one of England’s most historical cities made famous by Viking settlements and medieval aura. Because of its location on the Ouse and Foss rivers, York was an easy hub for the Romans, Saxons, Vikings and Normans who frequently passed through. The walled city’s history is apparent in its architecture – from Viking ruins to the York Dungeons to the largest Gothic Cathedral in England, York has plenty to offer any traveler.

Flights to York arrive at Leeds/Bradford Airport (about one hour from London’s Heathrow Airport) but travelers to York can also take trains from London’s King’s Cross Station. The trip takes approximately two hours by train, but the travel time is worth it for a walk through this historical city. While many travelers explore York for its historical value, many students book flights to York in search of a knowledge-quest at York University. The city’s eccentric blend of ancient architecture and modern bars and restaurants makes York a worldly destination for all types of visitors.

York Insider Information

  • Find out about York’s Viking past at Jorvik Viking Center.  It’s a theme-park–meets-museum affair: you can smell the scents and hear people talking as they would have done years ago. 
  • Walk round the massive city walls which have been here for 800 years and are very impressive.  Bootham Bar is a good place to get on. Then go and have a coffee or meal before you search out those second hand bookshops.
  • Love trains?  Visit Britain’s biggest railway museum.  Masses of carriages dating back to when the Victorians made it all happen on two rails.  Mallard, the well known record breaking engine is here.
