I was in York for a two night short break in February 2010, courtesy of Visit York. I asked for York travel tips on the blog and Twitter, as I always like to have readers input into this travel Europe guide. Below you can read some tips ‘n’ tweets to help you plan your trip to York. If you have recommendations for great York attractions, please leave a comment and I’ll add your York travel tip to the post, with a link to your site/blog (granting that applicable).
