So, many features have been preserved for historical significance. This unfortunately means many parts of York aren&#8217;t fully accessible to wheelchair users. If you visit the main shopping areas, many of the shops, caf\u00e9\u2019s, pubs and restaurants will have <em>at least <\/em>one large step into them. However, there are still great places to visit which are accessible. I&#8217;ve listed a few places that I&#8217;ve visited which are wheelchair accessible below<\/span>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Visit: York Minster<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For a building which has been around for 1,000 years, <a href=\"https:\/\/yorkminster.org\/\">the Minster<\/a> is a surprisingly accessible tourist spot! With a ramp to the main entrance, and the rest of the building mostly on one level, wheelchair users get the opportunity to take in the grandeur of the Minster. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There is a ramp to access the Quire. There&#8217;s also a lift to the underground museum. The only part<em> not<\/em> accessible to wheelchair users is the roof &#8211; but it&#8217;s meant to be bad luck to go up to the Minster roof before graduating anyway!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To leave, a member of staff will open a different exit, as the gift shop exit only has steps. The Minster is a must for any University of York student, as you are granted <strong>FREE<\/strong> access when you show your student ID.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/img_6710-141-rotated.jpeg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"240\" height=\"320\" data-id=\"12407\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/img_6710-141-rotated.jpeg?resize=240%2C320&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Ramp up to Quire inside York Minster.
