Eboracum romana: Le fondamenta del passato

A settembre, fate un passo indietro all'epoca romana, quando Eboracum, come era conosciuta York, era una vivace roccaforte dell'Impero Romano. Le rovine delle mura romane della città, la Torre Multangolare e il Museo dell'Esercito di York offrono uno spaccato della vita dei soldati e dei cittadini che un tempo percorrevano queste strade. Esplorate il Museo del Bagno Romano, che svela la lussuosa cultura balneare che prosperava qui secoli fa.

Il mistero della Torre di Clifford

Nel mese di settembre, avventuratevi alla Clifford's Tower, un punto di riferimento iconico che porta tra le sue mura storie di trionfi e tragedie. Questa torre medievale, arroccata su un tumulo, è stata testimone del flusso e riflusso della storia, dalle sue origini come torrione normanno al suo ruolo nella storia ebraica durante il XII secolo. La sua presenza imponente offre una vista panoramica della città e le sue pietre sussurrano storie di lotta e di resistenza.

Le baracche: Una meraviglia medievale

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 cattedrale di York: Un testamento del tempo

Settembre è il momento giusto per visitare la York Minster, una cattedrale che testimonia la storia spirituale e architettonica della città. È la più grande cattedrale medievale del Nord Europa e la sua imponenza gotica è uno spettacolo da vedere. Salite sulla Torre Centrale per godere di una vista panoramica della città ed esplorate le intricate vetrate che raccontano storie di fede e devozione.

Tesori nascosti nei musei

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.

Esplorate il fiume Ouse con le crociere in città

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 own 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.
