Manager recommends: Read our hostel's stylish murals to learn about more about York-based confectioners Rowntree's and see how their advertising evolved with the times. York itself is packed with attractions celebrating every era and history buffs will find it difficult to leave. Whether you want to walk on a genuine Roman floor or meet the sea monsters of prehistory, the Yorkshire Museum makes a great start to your journey. Or you can come face to face with 2,000 years of villainy at the York Dungeon - a theatrical walkthrough of York's blood-thirsty history, minus any boring bits!
