Do you believe in ghosts???👻
York, England is famously considered the most haunted city in Europe, and they really lean into it by offering tons of ghost tours, spooky themed shops, and plaques displaying all sorts of history/lore. When I was 15, I swear I saw a ghost inside York’s most haunted bar, the Golden Fleece (clip 11)😮💨
York also has lots of ties to the Harry Potter movies— which they lean into as well! There’s a street called Shambles which is thought to be the inspiration for Diagon Alley, so it has lots of witchy/wizardly shops + attractions. You can also visit a filming location from movie 1 at York train station!
Ancient & bustling cities have my heart. I’ll never pass up a chance to visit this one ❤️
