TO YORK.
Discovering York’s history and culture is as simple as stepping outside of your door.
From the York Dungeons to its famous ghost walks, this iconic walled city is full of Instagram-worthy sights to see and interesting stories to unfold.
However, heritage isn’t the only thing that makes York an amazing place to live. Amongst all of the gothic architecture lies a ton of high street shops, boutiques and bars that keeps this city grounded in the modern day. With over 18,000 students living here, there’s plenty going on to get your fix of nightlife.
York is a UNESCO City of Media Arts, which makes it the perfect place to live if you’re a culture-vulture. Stroll just 10 minutes from Vita Student to visit York’s best galleries and venues like York Art Gallery, York Theatre Royal, and The Barbican.
This city is difficult to get bored of, but if you ever need a break, you can easily get to the UK’s bigger cities or the incredible Yorkshire countryside. Take the train just 20 minutes to experience the busy pace of Leeds, or go to the Yorkshire Dales to wind down and hike through the hills.
