What to see in Bath
Bath Attractions
Not only is the city of a Bath a UNESCO World Heritage Site, but
it is a highly popular city to visit for tourists, particularly
during the summer months when the streets come alive with visitors,
performers and other colourful people.
Culture vultures will love this city as so much of England's
history is reflected here, with everything from the Roman baths and
Bath Abbey to the fashion museum and Royal Crescent, a residential
road of 30 houses laid out in a crescent shape showcasing Georgian
architecture - it's like taking a trip through time.
Head to the Jane Austen Centre to discover all there is to know
about Bath's most famous resident, stroll along the Pulteney Bridge
and look in its shop windows; visit Sally Lunn's Refreshment House
and Museum, the oldest house in town; or take a day trip to visit
the nearby ancient ruins at Stonehenge.
Visitors to Bath should make use of the Bath Visitor Card, which
costs just £3, is valid for three weeks from the date of
validation and can be picked up from the Bath Tourist Information
Centre. The card affords visitors plenty of time to make their way
around the city and also offers a wide range of discounts on food,
drinks, shopping, attractions and sightseeing tours.
