York has many museums, including the popular Yorvik Viking Centre. The city is also home to Yorkminster the second largest gothic cathedral in Northern Europe. If you have the energy to climg the tower steps you will see some amazing views.

The Shambles is a narrow medieval street full of gift shops, boutiques and old worldy tea rooms. Great to explore and imagine what York was like a few hundred years ago. The nightlife in York is pretty good. There are plenty of diverse restaurants, bars and nightclubs.
