But beyond its iconic tourist hot-spots, the city boasts a wealth of hidden gems. Whether you\u2019re a Harry Potter fanatic, foodie or a prospective student just taking a look around, York has something for everyone. Here\u2019s my guide to a great day trip in York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Arriving in York<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re probably arriving from York Train Station, so let\u2019s begin there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A five-minute walk along the road brings you to Partisan \u2014 a cosy cafe with a beautiful selection of drinks, pastries, and treats. Grab one for your breakfast, then admire the cobbled streets, cherry blossom trees (if it&#8217;s spring), and stunning architecture as you walk towards the city.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Museum Gardens<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/04\/Mischa-day-trip-in-York-2025-museum-gardens-min.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/04\/Mischa-day-trip-in-York-2025-museum-gardens-min.jpg?resize=960%2C960\" alt=\"St Mary's Abbey in York Museum Gardens.\" class=\"wp-image-15131\" style=\"width:319px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/04\/Mischa-day-trip-in-York-2025-museum-gardens-min.jpg?w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/04\/Mischa-day-trip-in-York-2025-museum-gardens-min.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/04\/Mischa-day-trip-in-York-2025-museum-gardens-min.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/04\/Mischa-day-trip-in-York-2025-museum-gardens-min.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/04\/Mischa-day-trip-in-York-2025-museum-gardens-min.jpg?resize=600%2C600&amp;ssl=1 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">St Mary&#8217;s Abbey<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Our first stop is the gorgeous York Museum Gardens. Stroll through them and find a hideaway to enjoy your breakfast. From the gardens, you can watch the River Ouse glisten, explore the botanical gardens, and admire the ruins of St Mary\u2019s Abbey. It\u2019s the perfect place to relax, soak in some of the city\u2019s extensive history, and enjoy a moment of peace before entering the bustling streets of York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Shambles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Brush the crumbs off your lap and head into the city! Our next stop is the Shambles \u2014 it\u2019s iconic for a reason. Often referred to as the <em>\u201cbest preserved medieval street in Europe\u201d<\/em> and famously known as the inspiration for Harry Potter\u2019s Diagon Alley, it\u2019s a spot you shouldn&#8217;t miss. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Walking down the Shambles, you can still spot remnants of the people that once lived there centuries ago. See if you can spot the original hooks that once hung meat at butchers! Grab some lunch from the adjacent market (I recommend Smokehouse Burritos) before heading off to your next iconic spot \u2014 the Minster!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/04\/Mischa-day-trip-to-York-2025-Minster.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"203\" height=\"333\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/04\/Mischa-day-trip-to-York-2025-Minster.png?resize=203%2C333\" alt=\"Outside of York Minster.\" class=\"wp-image-15132\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/04\/Mischa-day-trip-to-York-2025-Minster.png?w=203&amp;ssl=1 203w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/04\/Mischa-day-trip-to-York-2025-Minster.png?resize=183%2C300&amp;ssl=1 183w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 203px) 100vw, 203px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">York Minster<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">York Minster<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>York Minster is the largest Gothic cathedral in the UK \u2014 and it doesn\u2019t disappoint. Pictures could never do it justice, but do bring your camera regardless. If you\u2019d like, you could go into the Minster (it&#8217;s free for York residents and students!) and climb the Central Tower to get a panoramic view of York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Treasurer&#8217;s House<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Just behind the Minster lies Treasurer\u2019s House. Have a break and sit in the gardens, where you\u2019ll find centuries old statues, a fountain and greenery. It&#8217;s a perfectly quaint oasis to rest in before you head off for dinner. If you haven\u2019t found somewhere that\u2019s caught your eye at this point, I recommend Ate O&#8217; Clock or Los Moros!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Drinks to finish<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Finish off your&nbsp;trip with a drink at the Golden Fleece or Dyls if you\u2019re fancying something a little quieter. Or, if your legs aren\u2019t too tired, why not take a ghost tour, and find out about York&#8217;s spooky history! Regardless of your choice, I hope you had the best time in York!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; Misha \ud83d\udc97<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most people who come to York for a day trip have more-or-less the same itinerary: visit the Shambles, get a chocolate shot, go to the ghost merchants, walk the city walls.
