Bath Tourist Attractions

Things to see in Bath
Bath is famous for its architecture and the beauty of the city, designated a World Heritage Site, as a whole. The city is best enjoyed at leisure, wandering around. Highlights include the shop-lined Pulteney Bridge, the imposing Circus, and a series of elegant curving hillside crescents, the most celebrated of which is the Royal Crescent. Bath Abbey dominates the centre of town with its centuries of history.

Of Bath's individual tourist attractions, the most popular is the Roman Baths Museum. The Romans were the earliest documented users of England's only thermal springs, and remains of their bath complex, statues and tombstones can be admired in the museum, along with later, Georgian additions to the baths themselves.

Bath has an excellent range of museums displaying aspects of the city's past. The Building of Bath Museum documents the construction of the town, while No. 1 Royal Crescent is a fascinating time capsule, an elegant re-created Georgian townhouse. Renowned Bath residents William Herschel, William Beckford and Jane Austen are celebrated in their own museums.

The Museum of Costume's fine collections document changing fashions over the centuries. More art can be admired at the Victoria Art Gallery, by Pulteney Bridge, and at the Holburne Museum of Art.
