Having lived in York for more than 25 years, I’ve got a real feel for the city beyond the obvious landmarks. This guide comes from long-term local knowledge, years of exploring York’s streets, stories and history, and knowing the places that are genuinely worth your time. As someone with a family here, I also know the city in a practical, everyday way — not just as a visitor destination, but as a place people actually live, eat, wander and enjoy.
That means this guide isn’t just a list of ghost stories or tourist stops. It’s been put together with local knowledge of York, the character of different areas, and the kinds of places that make a visit feel memorable.
