Known around the world for its remarkably preserved Roman Baths and Georgian splendour, Bath is the only UK city to be designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The restorative quality of the hot springs that bubble up naturally has been recognised since the earliest of times and still draws visitors in their droves today. The City is packed with places to eat, drink, shop and dream of days gone by. Rich in culture and architecturally astounding, Bath is one of Britain’s most historical and and appealing cities. Home to the famous Roman Baths, alongside the celebrated Bath Rugby team, it’s been welcoming visitors for over 2,000 years.
Top 10 Things to do in Bath, Somerset. In the heart of Bath, Somerset you’ll find the imposing Bath Abbey, sat behind perhaps the city’s most famous asset - the Roman Baths Museum. This fascinating bathing complex and the temple of Sulis Minerva were established in 836 BC, when ancient Britons discovered the natural hot springs that bubble up from underneath the Mendip Hills. It’s been added to ever since - and now you’ll find the modern Thermae Bath Spa just around the corner, where you can relax in an open-air rooftop spa overlooking the city skyline. Bath’s rich history means it’s home to many museums, including the Holburne Museum and the American Museum in Britain, the Fashion Museum, No 1 Royal Crescent, the Jane Austen Centre and the Building of Bath Museum. You’ll also find stunning gardens and landscapes aplenty - don’t miss the stunning Palladian Bridge at the National Trust’s Prior Park, which you’ll find just outside the city. Theatres and vibrant street entertainment bring the streets of Bath to life all year round. Make the most of the city by joining a guided walking tour, open top tour bus - or even take in the sights from a locally-launched hot air balloon. As a thriving city, Bath is packed with must-visit restaurants, coffee shops, cafés and bars. Bath is a haven for shoppers, famous for fashion for hundreds of years. The city’s main shopping quarter was skilfully reworked into the contemporary SouthGate district, where intricate Georgian-style complexes are home top high street brands. A delightful array of other global brands join the many local independent stores that line the streets of central Bath.
