A Day trip to Bath

Back in september my boyfriend and I went on a little trip to Bath. The city of Bath has been high on my list of places to visit for quite a while now, so I was super excited to finally go and visit.

I already spent many happy hours reading about Bath and pinning nice pictures on Pinterest and I also follow several Bath themed Instagram accounts (for example this one and this)for my daily dose of Georgian architecture and history, so even before we set of on our trip I knew that I would love the place.

 

And of course I wasn’t disappointed.
We spent several hours strolling through the streets, past beautiful houses, churches, the Roman Baths and the very impressive Bath Abbey and marveled at the history and air of this wonderful city. We also did a spot of shopping which was great as there really is a shop for everyone. From major highstreet brands and luxury brand outlets to little artisan shops and cafes, anyone can find something to suit their taste.

Overall I found Bath to be a lovely city with lots of character and a lot of things to do. I absolutely love how grand and elegant it is, but at the same time small and somewhat cosy.
We visited on a saturday (maybe not the best choice) so it was quite busy, but the atmosphere felt more relaxed than in other big places and there is always a quaint little sidestreet to be found that is more quiet, to step away from the hustle and bustle of the main tourist areas.

 

We would have happily continued to explore the cobbled streets if only we’d had more time. Although Bath isn’t as vast as other cities there’s still much more we haven’t seen yet, so I hope that we will visit again soon. It is safe to say that it has well and truly captured my heart (as I knew it would).

So after some very happy hours of exploring we made our way back to the car and headed home with our feet hurting and a bag full of goodies and the satisfaction of knowing that Bath was worth the trip and that we will definitely be back.

Have you been to Bath and do you know any other places like it in the UK?
