York Minster
Quote: Widely regarded as one of Europe's most beautiful Gothic cathedrals, the York Minster is a reason to come to York in and of itself. The space defies description: a soaring nave, high pointed arches, towering stained glass windows, and a wealth of... Read the full York Minster review

York Minster
Quote: One can’t add much to the descriptions of York Minster that appear in your guidebooks or in other articles. It is the largest Gothic cathedral in Northern Europe, but that’s quite an abstract idea. It is 518 feet long, 249 feet across the transepts... Read the full York Minster review

  • October 25, 2002
Quote: The Minster is one of the main "attractions" in York. It is of course still an active church, and hence visitors are required to respect that during their visit - children running riot are not exactly encouraged. The building can be seen for... Read the full York Minster review

York Minster
Quote: If you come to York and don't visit the Minster, then what was the point in coming here?!? Like the Duomo in Florence or St. Peter's in Rome, the Minster is the focal point of York, towering over the city. A massive Gothic cathedral, the Minster... Read the full York Minster review

  • September 5, 2000
Quote: This is, as you will hear constantly in the place itself and the town, the largest Gothic cathedral in north Europe. It's still the highest building in York, and a marvel to visit. There's been a church on this site for over 1,000 years, and... Read the full York Minster review
