Bath is a special place to visit. On the surface, it’s one of the most picturesque cities in the country with incredible examples of Georgian architecture – like the Royal Crescent and The Circus – seemingly on every corner. On top of that, there are places like the gloriously gothic Bath Abbey, and the Palladian Pulteney Bridge too, meaning you’ll never be left wondering what to do in Bath. But, when you delve into city’s rich heritage, you fast realise there really is nowhere else quite like it. The Roman Baths are some of the best preserved Roman ruins in the world, and they’re just one of the reasons why Bath is a citywide UNESCO World Heritage Site. As you’ll see from this local guide, it doesn’t matter which of our Bath hotels you’re staying in, there’ll be something nearby to keep you busy, whether it’s the fantastic food scene, bars (including one of the best in the world), pubs, stellar shopping options, incredible entertainment scene, or eclectic culture.
