Car Class Recommendations

In York, compact cars are highly recommended. They provide the maneuverability needed to navigate the city's narrow streets and can handle the ever changing English weather. Many rental cars offer excellent fuel economy, making them a suitable choice for exploration outside the city.

Mobility and Parking

York has multiple park-and-ride services as well as car parks in the city centre. Although parking might be challenging, there are several apps such as Parkopedia that could be of great help. Just remember to avoid the pedestrian areas during the restricted hours as these are solely for the footfall traffic.

Must-visit Attractions

  • York Minster: An iconic gothic cathedral, with stunning stained glass windows.
  • The Shambles: An old street with overhanging timber-framed buildings.
  • York City Walls: Complete a circuit of the well-preserved medieval city walls.
  • Jorvik Viking Centre: Travel back in time at this informative and interactive Viking museum.

Driving Tips

In York, like the rest of UK, we drive on the left. Seat belts are mandatory, and using a mobile phone when driving is strictly prohibited. The national speed limit is 70 mph on motorways, 60 mph on single-carriageway roads and usually 30 mph in built-up areas, unless signs say otherwise.

Surrounding Cities

Beyond York, there are several charming cities worth exploring, like Harrogate, known for its elegant gardens, or the coastal town of Scarborough with its dramatic cliffs and beautiful beaches. A rental car permits ultimate flexibility to explore these locations at your own leisure.

Climate

York has a temperate climate and it's best to pack layers, as the weather can change swiftly. It can be particularly cold and damp in fall and winter, while spring and summer generally bring warmer conditions with beautiful blossoms and greenery.

Fun Festivals

York hosts some fabulous festivals throughout the year, including the Viking Festival in February, the Easter Chocolate Festival and the popular Christmas Festival.

Armed with these handy tips, you’re sure to have an unforgettable trip to York. Sit back, relax, and let the history, beauty, and charm of this ancient city captivate you.
