Bath is best explored on foot. Follow the Skyline walk which is managed by the National Trust. Bath Skyline is a circular trail that affords views of the historic city of Bath in England.

Standby tickets for shows at the Georgian Theatre Royal Bath are available for £9 (some seats have a very restricted view) from 12pm on the day of the performance. Empty seats are also sold off in the foyer on a cash-only basis an hour before the curtain goes up, for anything from £16 to £21.

If you want to visit the Fashion Museum as well as the Roman Baths, an online Saver Ticket saves you at least £4 and permits you entrance to both, plus temporary exhibitions at the Victoria Art Gallery. The ticket helps you skip queues also.

In winter, the Christmas market (held over the first two weeks of December) is one of the country’s best, though be prepared for big crowds who flock to stalls set up around the Abbey. A great place to purchase unique gifts. Bath on Ice is set up during the winter months in Victoria Park near the Pavillion which includes an ice rink, ski style lodge and mini golf.
