Things to do in Bath

Bath is not a very big city, but it surprises its visitors with great attractions. The main highlight are the thermal baths, built by the Romans and with centuries of history. Unfortunately the originals are closed to the public, but there are places that offer pools and steam rooms so you don't miss out on the experience, like the Thermae Bath Spa.

One of the best features of the city is that you can do everything on foot, whether it's a walk to the thermal baths or a stroll to see the historic buildings. A good tip is to participate in a guided tour of both tours.

If you're a Jane Austen fan, you'll also love strolling through the sights of this city that inspired the writing of many of the author's books. Feel yourself inside the history of Pride and Prejudice strolling through places like the Royal Crescent or Circus. Also visit The Jane Austen Centre.

Where to stay in Bath – Our hotel recommendation

As the attractions in Bath are close to each other, and more located in the city centre, the best option is to choose a hotel in this area, especially if it is your first visit there. In this part of the city there is a charming atmosphere, permeated by the predominant Georgian architecture.

If your idea is to stay in a more cool place, with a vibrant nightlife to enjoy the trip as much as possible, the Walcot area is your best choice. But in addition to pubs and clubs, during the day there are also good attractions, such as the Fashion Museum and boutique stores.

Now, for those who are going on a family trip, the Oldfield Park neighborhood is excellent, with a very quiet neighborhood and just a walk from the center.
