A list of events near our hostel
Safestay York Micklegate places you in the centre of the walled city, just 10 minutes from York Minster, Shambles Market (Diagon Alley from Harry Potter), and Clifford’s Tower. Walk the medieval walls, sip tea in vintage cafés, or pop into one of 365 pubs in the city, some even centuries old (and counting).
Walk the riverside of the picturesque Ouse and explore the haunted history of this once Roman city and pop by the shortest street in all of England with the most fun name: Whip-Ma-Whop-Ma-Gate!
