However, although the River Ouse does occasionally burst its banks, only a very small section of town is affected &#8211; and the businesses it does affect are incredibly resilient, with some pubs even putting a bridge to their front door so you can still enter. It&#8217;s quite spectacular!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But when it&#8217;s at normal levels, you can enjoy a scenic river cruise and see some of York&#8217;s historic and beautiful landmarks.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/01\/IMG_1590.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1692 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/01\/IMG_1590.jpg?resize=300%2C225\" alt=\"IMG_1590\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/01\/IMG_1590.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/01\/IMG_1590.jpg?resize=768%2C575&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/01\/IMG_1590.jpg?resize=1024%2C767&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/01\/IMG_1590.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Many cafes and bars also have outside seating areas along the Ouse, so on a sunny day (they do occasionally happen) it&#8217;s perfect for relaxing with friends or family over a coffee and a slice of cake- or a cocktail, if you&#8217;re feeling particularly adventurous.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>The Minster<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_564\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-564\" style=\"width: 295px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/01\/IMG_0040.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-564\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-564\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/01\/IMG_0040.jpg?resize=295%2C221\" alt=\"IMG_0040\" width=\"295\" height=\"221\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/01\/IMG_0040.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/01\/IMG_0040.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/01\/IMG_0040.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/01\/IMG_0040.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 295px) 100vw, 295px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-564\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">View of the Minster from the city wall, near the train station<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_555\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-555\" style=\"width: 169px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/01\/20151124_184304.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-555\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-555 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/01\/20151124_184304-e1452125945406-169x300.jpg?resize=169%2C300\" alt=\"20151124_184304\" width=\"169\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/01\/20151124_184304-e1452125945406.jpg?resize=169%2C300&amp;ssl=1 169w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/01\/20151124_184304-e1452125945406.jpg?resize=768%2C1365&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/01\/20151124_184304-e1452125945406.jpg?resize=576%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 576w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/01\/20151124_184304-e1452125945406.jpg?w=540&amp;ssl=1 540w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 169px) 100vw, 169px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-555\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">York Minster at night<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Potentially York&#8217;s most famous building and the tallest building in York, the Minster stands proudly in the very centre of the city.
