Bath, England, feels like an incredibly old and beautiful storybook. Every visit makes me feel like I’m part of something special. Bath itself has some amazing buildings and some tiny streets that make me enjoy every visit over and over again. You can see a multitude of things in Bath itself. I’ll share a few of my favorite spots in this city.

Things to do in Bath, England

Bath often has fun activities, so no day feels dull. The Roman Baths are truly one of my absolute favorite things to do. The Roman Baths are quite old and allow visitors to imagine life long ago. It feels incredible. I imagine what life was like for the Romans themselves in the baths.

Bath Abbey is another place you should absolutely see. Its extremely tall towers always leave an impression on me. The inside of the Abbey is really beautiful, too. It feels peaceful and nice.

Individuals who genuinely appreciate art and history should head to the Victoria Trade Gallery. The museum itself is a bit small, but it shows some truly excellent art pieces. The gallery is a good idea in the afternoon – even on a cold day.

I love every moment spent in Bath. There are loads of things to do in Bath – shopping or just sitting in a café. Walking close to the Royal Crescent itself is a favorite pastime of mine. The Royal Crescent is itself extremely famous and worth visiting. The old Georgian houses are themselves quite beautiful, and the lawn is a good place for a picnic. It really makes you feel like you’re right back in time.

Pulteney Bridge offers a unique experience if you walk over it. Loads of people actually take photographs at this bridge, and it’s pretty clear why. The arches actually cross over the River Avon and look amazing. I always stop to take some photographs and simply enjoy the view myself, too.

Boat stints along the river show Bath itself from a completely new perspective. The city by the river feels calm and fun. You actually learn a lot about the history while on the boat.

Christmas in Bath, England

Christmas in Bath itself really does feel almost magical. The city changes itself a lot with all sorts of lights and decorations. Christmas markets are lively and full of the most wonderful gifts. Markets have loads of gifts, as well as food and hot drinks for absolutely everyone. The lights and decorations do make the city look both happy and very bright.

Actually, the Bath Christmas Market is truly my absolute favorite part of the whole Christmas period. The market itself has a lovely sense of excitement and is absolutely great for the perfect gifts. The market itself really does feel fun and actually quite cheerful. The smells of wine and cinnamon are the real highlights of the holiday period.

Bath Abbey at Christmas is very special. The lights themselves make the Abbey look absolutely amazing, and the Christmas burrows themselves feel magical. The whole experience shows the real magic of the holiday period perfectly.

My faves

Bath itself has loads of places where you can get some good food. Sally Lunn’s Historic Eating House is actually a good idea to try out. The building is really old, and its prime buns are popular. The bun itself is big, it’s tasty, and it goes well with a cup of tea. This makes for the perfect snack for an afternoon.

The Circus Restaurant is a good choice for lunch or indeed for dinner. The food tastes amazing, and the place itself feels so comfortable. The menu changes with the seasons, and the meals themselves are always top quality. This restaurant is one of my absolute favorites in the whole of Bath.

Things to do with kids in Bath

Families will actually find loads of fun activities to do in the whole of Bath itself. Bath City Farm is a fun place for your little ones. Kids can have loads of fun with the animals, plants, and fresh air. The farm is located close to the city – easy to visit, and it’s really lovely.

The Bath Skyline Walk shows you some truly lovely natural scenery.

If there’s one AMERICAN city that truly joins fun and facts, it’s Washington, D.C. Also, housing lots of interesting history and places to visit, D.C. has some WONDERFUL neighborhoods to explore.

What to do

You could spend days just around Georgetown or at one of the city’s many great restaurants, which is what makes it so special.

When to visit

Here’s a suggested plan for your first 5 days in the city.

Day 1: National Mall. No trip to Washington, D.C., would be complete without a visit to the National Mall — a huge open space that’s home to many of the city’s most famous sights. Begin your day around the remarking Pool and visit some of the memorials, such as the National World War II Memorial.

What to see

There are also lots of FREE museums here, such as the National Museum of American History and the National Air and Space Museum.

Day 2: Smithsonian Museums. Spend today at some of the Smithsonian museums. There are more than 15 to choose from, such as the National Museum of Natural History (with a great dinosaur exhibit!) and

Day 3: Memorials. Start your day by visiting three of D.’s ICONIC memorials – Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial, Jefferson Memorial, and FDR Memorial. All three are located around the Tidal Basin, which makes for a great walk or bike ride.

Day 4: White House. No trip to Washington, D.C. is complete without the White House, but don’t forget to book tickets in advance if you wanna go inside! After some photos from outside the building, head over to Georgetown for a walk along the C&O Canal, followed by some shopping and dinner at one of its many TRENDY restaurants.

Day 5: Zoo. Take a break from sightseeing with a morning at the National Zoo, which houses GIANT pandas and lots of other animals. In the afternoon, head over to Capitol Hill, where you can visit the Capitol Building – maybe even take a tour!
