Why Bath Should Be Your Next Vacation Destination

For 2000 years, the city of Bath in southern England has been a prime vacation spot. It's been a place of worship for Ancient Romans, a spa city for Georgian nobility, and a source of inspiration for famous English authors. Today, Bath is a World Heritage Site, but this city is far from stuck in the past. Between spas, nightlife, shopping, live entertainment, and unique tours of the over 500 historically significant sites, there's something for everyone in Bath.

01 Visit Aquae Sulis

Perhaps the most famous tourist attraction in Bath is the preserved Ancient Roman baths and temple to Minerva at Aquae Sulis. Guests can walk the same paths that the Romans did in the 1st century CE, learn about the importance of Bath's natural hot springs to local culture and worship, and take in the gorgeous architecture. The one thing they can't do is get in the water.
