With its scenic architecture and wondrous attractions, it’s no wonder York is the most romantic city in the North. Here, we’ve listed the best romantic activities for couples to do in the city during that perfect long-weekend you’ve been dreaming of.
Stroll Around York City Walls
Walk hand-in-hand over the most complete example of medieval walls in England whilst taking in panoramic views of the breath-taking city. Not your average Yorkshire walk, this is a memorable experience you simply must share with your partner.
Shop at the Shambles
One of the best ways to get to know your partner better is by observing their shopping tastes! If they venture into The Shop That Must Not Be Named, they’re a Potter fan. If they stop by the Shambles Sweet Shop, they’re a confectionary connoisseur. If they go in both, they’re a keeper!
Indulge in York’s Chocolate Story
Chocolate is undoubtedly the way to the heart! Take a guided tour of York’s chocolate story and unwrap the sweet history of the UK’s favourite snack. On your way out, don’t forget to treat your loved one to a beautifully wrapped chocolate bar from the giftshop – the language of love.
Dine at One of York’s Many Restaurants
Whether it’s a quick coffee shop break or a slap-up meal you desire, York will have you spoilt for choice. Sample a luscious panini at Lucky Days or indulge in Italian cuisine at cosy Lucia. And, if you’ve got room for dessert, grab an ice cream from Roberto – your couples’ Summer isn’t over yet!
Take a Boat Ride Along the River Ouse
Wrap your arm around your partner, relax and watch the world glide by as you slowly sail down the River Ouse. Take an evening cruise after a day of exploring and watch the late summer sunset reflect in the tranquil water. Complete bliss!
