Ten things you should do in Bath
1. Spend the night in the charming The Royal Crescent: The luxurious hotel not only enchants with a unique interior, a beautiful garden and the sweet domestic hangover Alfie, the building is also part of the famous, crescent -shaped Royal Crescent row of houses. Exciting: Bridgerton outer scenes were also shot right in front of the hotel.
2. Speaking of Bridgerton: A very special highlight in Bath is a bridgone sightseeing tourTo get to know the city and the most beautiful locations better. You can book the city tour accompanied by atmospheric music at Brit Movie Tours.
3. In the Rooftop pool of the Thermae Bath Spa with panoramic views swim across the city: One of the main attractions of the city has always been her famous thermal water, which is fed by the hot springs of the area. The sources in Bath are the warmest geothermal sources in Great Britain and the Thermae Bath Spa offers several saunas, a steam bath and various pools. The special highlight: the Rooftop Pool with a fantastic view of the city.
4. Dinner in the star restaurant Olive Tree Bath: The only restaurant in Bath, which was awarded a Michelin star, is located in The Queensberry Hotel and is an absolute recommendation for the heart. We not only loved eating the exquisite, but also the relaxed ambience. The menu is something very special and, in addition to the classic variant with fish and meat, can also be chosen vegetarian, vegan or only with fish. The address: Olive Tree Bath, 4-7 Russell St, Bath BA1 2QF
5. Browse through all the beautiful book stores: For example at Topping & Company (York St, Bath Ba1 1ng) or Bath Old Books (9c Margaret’s Buildings, Bath BA1 2LP).
6. Immerse yourself in the rich history of the city: A walk through the illustrious old town is an absolute must, supplemented by a visit to the Roman Baths and a tour of the impressive Bath Abbey.
7. Walk along the Avon River … and enjoy the city. The famous Pulteney Bridge, which with its elegant arches and the adjacent shops, is an architectural highlight.
8. Lunch near Pieminister: You can get to know the British classic Pie in the Minister of Pieminin – for example in the vegan version with jackfruit. The address: Pieminister, 24 Westgate St, Bath BA1 1EP
9. A candlestick workshop in the Paddywax Candle Bar: In the charming Paddywax Candle Bar you can become creative and step-by-step design your own fragrance candle. It’s fun and by the way you still have a really nice (and so well fragrant!) Souvenir from Bath.
10. In beautiful Montagu’s Mews in the Royal Crescent Hotel Essen: Another restaurant highlight in Bath is Montagu’s Mews in the Royal Crescent Hotelwhich is also open to external guests. A extensive garden separates the main building of the hotel from the restaurant, which is housed in the former carriage house of the former property of the namesake, the writer Elizabeth Montagu.
