If you like churches and cathedrals, this is the place. TheMinster is spectacular and the intricacy of the architecture is awesome. The tower tour is ok if you want views of york, but miss it if you are claustrophobic or tire easily!

We decided to do the full tour (£15 each) which was extremely good value, as we ended up spending over three hours exploring the Minster. Firstly we went round with a knowledgeable guide, who gave us insights into the history, the architecture and the many...More

Outside York Minster is absolutely outstanding, from any angle as it can be seen up close and from a distance. It dominates the skyline and is simply a beautiful piece of architecture. The accompanying history makes it all the more outstanding.

No doubt that this is a place you must visit in York. It has so much history and is a wonderful walk through the ages. The inside is truly beautiful and the walk up to the tower gives great views over the city and beyond....More

For £10, you can see a cathedral that is, in my opinion, better than Westminster Abbey, with a free guided (and very informative) tour. You also get access to the undercroft exhibit, which shows remains of Roman-era barracks, as well as the history of the...More

A must do and see while in York. We were surprised with how interesting it was. We paid 10 pound each - which seemed like alot for a church, but it was worth it. Very beautiful.

There are at least 4 services every day. Details are on the Minster's website but evensong at 5.15 on weekdays, usually with the choir, is very popular.
