City Tourist Information To York
By Leisha Greenfield
York was once the capital of the country, and boasts a breathtaking
history and wealth of restored medieval buildings and streets. The city
gave its name to the county in which it resides, and is home to 13,000
people.
But York is much more than a beautiful, ancient city, and is home to a
vibrant cafe culture and array of fine dining restaurants. The shopping
facilities are plentiful, and there are more independent retailers
represented here than in any other modern city in the country. The city
even boasts a busy nightlife, with a wide selection of pubs, clubs and
live venues.
York's creative spaces and venues are another good reason to visit, and
the art installations housed in St Mary's Church are a unique tourist
attraction in themselves.
With dozens of museums, sporting venues and restaurants, hundreds of
shops, and quality hotels and B'n'Bs on every street, York attracts
thousands of tourists every year and rewards every one of them!
History
The ancient city of York has a more exciting history than any other area of the
UK. The city was founded in AD71, and was the site of Constantine the
Great's coronation as Roman Emperor. The city's decline in importance
during the Industrial Revolution meant that ancient buildings were not
raised to make room for factories and mills, and an abundance of
medieval structures still exist today.
The Jorvik Museum is one of fifty museums and heritage centres in the
city, and explores the Viking history of the area. Viking streets have
been reconstructed for an underground tour, and there are masses of
archaeological finds and exhibits.
The National Railway Museum, The Castle Museum, The York Dungeon and
The Richard III Museum are just some of the others.
The city is also home to the largest Gothic church in the country, a
thirteenth century church and numerous other medieval ruins.
Art Galleries
York Art Gallery is home to oil and canvas artwork, watercolours and
ceramics from the fourteenth century to the present day. The collection
is separated into six themed areas: Morality, Devotion, Places, People,
Stories and Modern Aproaches; and there are regular temporary
exhibitions.
York St Mary's is a desanctified medieval church that is used to house
a different art installation each year. The installations are inspired
by the building, and each adds something different to its ambience. The
installation for 2007 will explore the relationship between the viewer,
the artist and the natural world, and is being developed by Keiko
Mukaide.
The Artspace is a studio and art gallery, with new exhibitions every
six weeks.
Theatres
The Grand Opera House is an elegant, restored, nineteenth century
building, hosting performances of drama, dance, comedy and music. The
theatre is said to be the largest in Yorkshire.
The York Theatre Royal seats almost 1000 people and presents a
programme of drama, comedy, musicals, live and stand-up comedy.
The theatre is currently being renovated but is still open for business.
Friargate Theatre is home to a Christian theatre company, and regularly
showcases small-scale touring productions.
Restaurants
The Biltmore Bar and Grill is located in a desanctified church, serves
grills and drinks in its bistro, and traditional dishes on its
mezzanine. The interior is modern and chic, and prices are a little
above the average.
Rarity offers meat and fish dishes, and a wide selection of red, white
and rose wines, champagnes and vintage ports.
