 | York Tourist Traps | Tips 1 - 10 of 21 |  |
Beware of the small print on the eat as much as you want offers. You will find that they are not valid on weekends and bank holidays.
If you are choosing from the ordinary menu prices are similar to branches all over the country but I have found that service tends to be a little slower.
Visit the salad bar and fill your bowl with as much as possible!
There are many good restaurants within the city. Or if you are after fast food visit the chip shop. Leave a Comment

Do you like all the circa 19th centaury faux Britannia stuff? Do you really fancy queuing for ages to get into some ‘historic’ tearooms? Do you really fancy paying over the odds? Do you like being pressured to herd out to get the next load of suckers through? Are you over retirement age?
If the answer to all of these questions is 'no' then I suggest you walk over to the other side of the square to ‘Harkers’. It’s a great bar that does good quality food and coffee during the day in a younger, funkier atmosphere than the overpriced ‘death’s waiting room’ of Betty’s. Leave a Comment

York Pullman coach tours. These leave from Bootham Bar (gate) and charge loads of money for a tour around the Moors or to Castle Howard.
Better take a day trip with Eddie Brown Tours. They have an office opposite Clifford's Tower where you can pick up a leaflet and book a trip. Much, much cheaper trips to all over northern England but especially the Dales. You don't get a coach full of tourists either but instead local pensioners without their own cars who want to get out and about and who can tell you loads of interesting stories about the places you stop at which are funnier than any tour guide can be. See their daytrips at http://www.eddiebrowntours.co.uk/ Leave a Comment

The Jorvik Centre: the long line-up makes lead you to believe that there is something extremely exciting inside. Not really. You can take a mini-roller coaster ride around the exhibits, hear the sounds of early settlers at work, and check out what people back then wore. On the way out, be sure to buy a scratch and sniff postcard (it captures the smell of the exhibit showing a Viking going to the bathroom). Disgusting and tacky? That's the Jorvik Centre.

The line to get into the Jorvik Centreeems perpetually long. If you must get in try early in the morning or a few hours before closing time. Leave a Comment

York Dungeon - It's not scary at all, but it does show the macabre side of York - which is different. The tales about the lost Roman legion, Dick Turpin, and the plague were somewhat entertaining - but probably not worth the admission price. Visitors take a self-guided tour through most of the York Dungeon. At certain points, employees dresses up in Halloween costumes give presentations about different parts of oh-so-scary York. One of the guides had some fun singling me out when she found out that I was from Texas.

It's OK, but I'd really only go in if it's raining or I've seen everything else!
