Do check out the Thermae Bath Spa — rooftop pool is worth it. Do visit the Holburne Museum — compact, beautiful, and very “Bridgerton.” Do set aside time for the Parade Gardens — peaceful riverside break. DON’Ts Don’t drive into the centre — parking is tight and pricey. Don’t assume restaurants take walk-ins — Bath books up fast on weekends. Don’t skip the side streets — artisan shops and indie cafés hide there. Don’t miss the river walk — quiet route under Pulteney Bridge. Don’t rush the Roman Baths audio guide — it’s genuinely one of the best. Don’t touch the spring water — historic, not hygienic. Don’t ignore the hills — wear proper walking shoes. Don’t spend all your time in the centre — Prior Park & Sydney Gardens are gems. Don’t skip sunset at the Crescent — golden hour is spectacular. Don’t forget that Bath is a UNESCO site — be respectful of historic areas. 🔔 Subscribe to follow along with our journey: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCd7xyhuFHFXRDon10VehdsQ?sub_confirmation=1 Email: [email protected]
