Bath, England

The city of Bath is England's second most popular visitor destination after London. Bath is a town of supreme harmony constructed mostly during the 18th century with beautiful cream-colored limestone in the Georgian style of architecture. Along with the urban beauty there are numerous historic sites and many quiet lanes containing hundreds of little shops that produces an awesome combination.

The most fascinating and important attraction in England's city of Bath are The Roman Baths, ancient ruins from 2000 years ago. A comprehensive museum has been built on the site incorporating many of the original Roman structures along with thousands of artifacts in a fascinating display that reveals how very civilized Romans were during their 400-year occupation of Britain.

As in most tourist towns, there is a worthwhile bus tour of Bath, England, that covers the main sights, and delivers a summary -- Bath in a nutshell -- pointing out more things you might want to cover on foot later, or provide a new perspective on places you've already walked through. The bus drives around the city and then a second leg continues into the nearby suburbs for a taste of rural life.
