York Minster, over 800 years old

I visited York over the weekend with my friends. It was the first time we'd taken a train in England. We had booked the tickets in advance and we managed to get the train smoothly.

We showed our tickets to the man who was walking around checking the tickets in the train. However, we couldn't get a seat. If the seat number isn't written on your ticket, you had better go earlier and line up. Even if you do have a seat number written on your ticket, you should go quickly to get your seat. Sometimes someone is already sitting in it. When that happens, you should say something to them.

Charming shops

Arriving in York, we found that it's a city with many old buildings, and they are not so tall. We can take in beautiful scenery thanks to these buildings. There is a market which sells food and goods made in York. We really enjoyed ourselves there.

We had afternoon tea at Bettys, which is the most popular café in York. We chose the "luxury" type. It was far more expensive than the other types of afternoon tea, but it was awesome. The atmosphere, sweets and tea made us feel luxurious.

I highly recommend you to go to Bettys when you visit York.
