The Roman Baths are a must-visit attraction when holidaying in Bath. The city became a spa in AD 60 and the Romans built baths and a temple in the valley of the River Avon. Bath then became popular as a spa town during the Georgian era and much of the architecture from that time still remains today. Treat your partner to a romantic tour and dinner by the Baths at nighttime or teach your family more about the city’s Roman history by taking your children on an audio tour. There is something for everyone at the city’s Roman Baths.
The Royal Crescent is truly a sight to behold. A row of 30 terraced houses that make a crescent close to the Royal Victoria Park in the city, the Royal Crescent is one of the greatest examples of Georgian architecture in the entire United Kingdom and was built some time in the late 18th century. Many notable people have lived in or stayed at one of the houses down the years and the Royal Crescent now includes a hotel and a museum where you can learn more about the history of this fascinating structure. Why not take a hot air balloon ride from the nearby Royal Victoria Park and see the crescent and the entire city of Bath from the best view possible.
