About

The golden city of Bath has been welcoming visitors for over 2,000 years. Designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, Bath is home to some of the most impressive architectural sights in the world such as the Royal Crescent, the Circus and Pulteney Bridge.

At the heart of Bath city centre, next to Bath’s imposing Abbey is the Roman Baths Museum, which gives a fascinating insight into the original bathing complex and the great Roman temple of Sulis Minerva. Above the Museum in the 18th century Pump Room you can taste the waters, enjoy a meal and listen to music from the Pump Room Trio.

Visitors can now bathe in Bath’s waters once again – but these days it is definitely a 21st Century experience!  Thermae Bath Spa is the modern spa complex in the city centre, and with its open air rooftop pool, is a must-do experience for anyone coming to the city.
