I was generally happy in Bath and all the facilities. I stayed in the YMCA & the Backpackers hostel and was impressed with both. I have also been to the Bath Univiersity & think very highly of the Uni & all it has to offer. I was not happy with the rude & unfriendly bus drivers...more I was generally happy in Bath and all the facilities. I stayed in the YMCA & the Backpackers hostel and was impressed with both.

Take the free walking tour of the city. It's free and they do a great job. The Abby is also free. the old Roman Bath tour is great and worth the money. Stay away from the Moraccan Restaurent. I also took the bus tour. It is ok. Bath is pretty small. I had problems understanding because the...more Take the free walking tour of the city. It's free and they do a great job.

I had problems understanding because the acccent was strong on the tour guide.close

Bath is a nice town with a couple of interesting things to see. But it definitively does not deserve the publicity it gets. And £11 for the roman baths is a rip off. For 7€ (about £5) you get in Rome the entrance of the Colyseum, the Palatin hill and the forum. Definitively not in the...more Bath is a nice town with a couple of interesting things to see. But it definitively does not deserve the publicity it gets. And £11 for the roman baths is a rip off. For 7€ (about £5) you get in Rome the entrance of the Colyseum, the Palatin hill and the forum. Definitively not in the Must see list in the UK.close

Bath was a lovely city maybe my favorite on this trip! Weather in July was REALLY warm. There is an excellent city tour provided for free by a group of elderly women who represent the city on a voluntary basis - well worth the time! The Roman Baths are an absolute must.

Other great stuff is doable as day trips but does take time.close

What a fantastic place. Even with the hoards of tourists, it is a beautiful town, nestled around the Avon River. The roman baths are well worth a visit, but give yourself plenty of time, becasue there is plenty to look at - and don't forget to take the audio guide. It gives a great insight to Roman culture in roman Britain as well as the history of the baths over the centuries that followed. But don't just stick to the main tourist sights - take a good pair of walking shoes and strike out on foot. There are lots of grat spots to explore and beautiful vistas to discover away from the town centre - and you'll get a great cardio workout at the same time! For an insight into life of the upper class in Georgian England I'd recommend visiting No 1 The Royal Crescent. It's beautifully restored and the volunteer guides are a mine of information. For the foodies there are a great collection of artisan bakeries and delis, as well as Brisitsh Pubs and tea shops. Also pop into Sally Lunn'sat 4 North Parade Passage. There is a large menu, but for the authentic sally lunn bun, have it served with either cinnamon or brandy butter. Also check out the original bakery in the basement museum.close

Bath is a very beautiful town. You can feel the history as you walk around and for a place so small, there's far too much to do for a simple day trip. We sat in a bar and ended up quickly falling in to conversation with the locals around us. They were friendly and easygoing, making a quick stop...more Bath is a very beautiful town. You can feel the history as you walk around and for a place so small, there's far too much to do for a simple day trip. We sat in a bar and ended up quickly falling in to conversation with the locals around us. They were friendly and easygoing, making a quick stop for a pint last nearly a couple of hours. It's beautiful day or night, and a must-see for anyone who's planning a trip to Englandclose
