With any new place, it\u2019s important to get your bearings, and that can be an intimidating prospect when faced by the winding cobbled streets of a Medieval city. So, why not get outside and follow a walk of the city walls? It takes about two hours to do the full circuit, but it\u2019s easy to do as much or as little as you want. When I did this with my flatmates, we made many stops to take pictures and enjoy the cafes en route. If walking isn\u2019t your thing, why not embrace your inner-tourist, grab an \u2018I Heart York\u2019 shirt and jump on one of the many hop-on-hop-off sightseeing buses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tuesday<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">York is teeming with culture and, thankfully for our student budgets, so much is available to do for free when exploring the city! At the moment, with your University of York student card you can enter the iconic <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/yorkminster.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">York Minster<\/a> at no cost. For lunch, why not head to the nearby Museum Gardens and see the ruins (which look particularly spooky when Halloween comes around!) before heading to the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yorkartgallery.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">York Art Gallery<\/a>, which is also currently free admission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/12\/ruins98.jpg\" alt=\"Exploring the city of York - the Museum Gardens ruins\" class=\"wp-image-9117\" \/><figcaption><em>The Museum Garden Ruins this autumn<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the moment, Tuesday is the student club night at <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kudaclub.com\/club\/york\/\" target=\"_blank\">Kuda<\/a> &#8211; luckily there&#8217;s a bus stop which drops the 66 off from the campus right outside the venue, so no need to blow the budget on an Uber either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Wednesday<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now you\u2019ve seen the sights of York, it\u2019s important to taste the food. York has so much delicious food on offer, with cuisine from all over the world. There\u2019s your traditional English pub fare, alongside restaurants serving (among others) Spanish, Italian, Chinese, Polish and Nepalese dishes. I can\u2019t say for sure (because there are so many amazing restaurants I\u2019ve not tried yet!), but if you\u2019re craving a certain dish or wanting some home comfort as an international student, I\u2019m almost certain you can find it in York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wednesday is also when the student club night at Salvation now happens, and if you\u2019re interested in joining any sports or societies, this is when they have their weekly socials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Thursday<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">York is also a great place to do some shopping. The Shambles is full of small independent businesses which are perfect to buy Christmas presents from, sample some delicious chocolatey treats, or do some window shopping. As a literature student, I can also admit that I love a good bookshop &#8211; and York is teeming with them! My favourite is <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.minstergatebooks.co.uk\/html\/homepge\/hmepgewh.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Minstergate Bookshop<\/a>, where there are some amazing bargains to be had, with rooms across four floors of a beautiful historical building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Friday<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/12\/evil-eye66.jpg\" alt=\"Exploring the city of York - a view of the Minster from the Evil Eye courtyard\" class=\"wp-image-9118\" \/><figcaption><em>A view of the Minster from the Evil Eye courtyard<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s nearly the end of the week! So, it\u2019s time to relax and explore some of the amazing bars and pubs in York. <a href=\"http:\/\/thelowther.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Lowther<\/a> and Stone Roses are student favourites for a cheap pint and some good chat. But, if you want to get adventurous and try some cocktails head down to quirky <a href=\"https:\/\/www.evileyelounge.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Evil Eye<\/a>, take a trip from old York to New York in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manahatta.co.uk\/bars\/york\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Manahatta<\/a>,&nbsp;or head to the riverside and go to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.revolution-bars.co.uk\/bar\/york\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Revolution<\/a> before dancing the night away there on Sunday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s the end of a pretty hectic week plan, but I hope this has given you some ideas about how to get the most out of your time exploring the city of York. No matter what your interests are, there\u2019s something for you. So get out there, try something new, and have a good time!<\/p>\n<div class=\"ap-custom-wrapper\"><\/div><!--ap-custom-wrapper-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is so much to do when exploring the city of York, and that can make it tricky to decide where to start.
