There can be very long queues at peak times, but the staff will advise you a good time to visit if you ask. During the peak months of summer, the baths are open until late and a later visit is not only quieter, but you will get to see the flames lit around the main baths which is lovely.

Sightseeing
Of all the things to do in Bath, sightseeing is one of the most rewarding. Stunning sights crop up around almost every corner of the city, and most of them won’t cost you a penny. So may of these are literally moments away from the apartment. Here are a few to get you started.

The interiors of No.1 Royal Crescent are furnished and decorated as they would have been in the last years of the 18th century. It’s a must-see if you’re into the décor of the era and might provide some glamorous interior design inspiration. Wander through the opulent, chandelier-lit rooms and it’s easy to believe that the Georgians have only just left. A perfect activity for Bridgerton fans.

There is nowhere else quite like Bath Abbey. Magnificent stained-glass windows, columns of honey-gold stone and some of the finest fan vaulting in the world, create an extraordinary experience of light and space. But there is more to it than that. There has been a place of Christian worship on this site for over 1,200 years and the Abbey remains a living church with services taking place throughout the entire week. https://www.bathabbey.org

Completed in 1774, Pulteney Bridge brings a touch of Italy to Bath. Inspired by Ponte Vecchio in Florence and lined by shops on both sides, it is one of only four such structures in the world. Viewed from across the river, the bridge’s elegant arches are complemented by the curved cascades of the weir just downstream (it looks particularly magical lit up at night).

This broad thoroughfare is the longest and widest Georgian street in Bath. The sheer scale is impressive, but the harmonious architectural detail of the buildings lining each side of the street also catches the eye.

Dating back to 1482, Sally Lunn’s on North Parade Passage has a credible claim to being Bath’s oldest surviving house. In actual fact, its history stretches back even further, as excavations in the cellar have revealed artefacts left behind by the city’s early Roman inhabitants. However old the house is, there’s one thing that is not up for dispute. This is the birthplace of the local delicacy known as the Sally Lunn bun. A taste of this Bath original is a vital part of any visit.
