Visit the ancient Roman Baths dating back to AD43. The heated waters are still a big draw, both here and at the thoroughly modern Thermae Bath Spa, which houses the only natural thermal hot springs in Britain you can still bathe in today.

You might feel you are wandering through the pages of one of Jane Austen’s classic novels as you stroll past Georgian architectural masterpieces such as the Royal Crescent and the Circus. You can also experience breathtaking views over the city from Prior Park Landscape Garden.

Bath is proud of its remarkable collection of museums and galleries, including:
 
- No. 1 Royal Crescent, where you can experience life as a Georgian in Bath
- the Jane Austen Centre, which celebrates the life and work of one of the city’s most famous former residents
- Mary Shelley’s House of Frankenstein, a bold and immersive attraction inspired by the author who wrote her iconic novel while living in Bath. 
- the Holburne Museum, housing thousands of pieces of eighteenth-century art within a beautiful building and gardens
- the Museum of East Asian Art, the UK’s only museum solely dedicated to the arts and cultures of East and South East Asia

Bath is a lively, thriving city where ancient history and Georgian elegance sit comfortably alongside a decidedly twenty-first-century cosmopolitan buzz. Eat out in hundreds of restaurants and cafés serving everything from Michelin-starred gourmet dishes to simple, satisfying street food.

Unwind in chic cocktail bars and welcoming traditional pubs, then dip into a rich evening scene that embraces comedy, live music and theatre. Head to Green Park Brasserie for free live jazz music and award-winning food and drink, catch a show at Theatre Royal Bath or enjoy after-hours entertainment at Komedia Bath.

There’s also plenty to see beyond the city, with stunning countryside to explore, as well as attractions like Stonehenge, Avebury and Longleat Safari Park on our doorstep.
