I love visiting Bath, and if people are curious about visiting - please don’t hesitate.
It’s one of the most interesting and fun places to visit as a tourist in England.
Let me know if you have any questions of if any of you have ever been to Bath, let me know in the comments section below.
BTW: for those of you who use my city guides as a way to request stadium tours that you’ll never end up watching, I won’t be doing any more for the immediate future. The last few bombed completely (due to people not sharing them). I’d like to create more travel content that is very much appreciated by fellow travelers, rather than get kids whining that I got something wrong at a stadium tour.
Dear SPA!
Entrance tickets to Hungarian beaches are HUF 3,000-10,000/person, which ranges from 7-20 pounds and are valid for the whole day, but there are also 4-hour tickets.
The entrance ticket to the Hungarian cave spas is HUF 10-12 thousand.
£20-24 per person for an all-day ticket.
The bath section in Bath, England, behaved outrageously when I was there before.
The employee said when you can come in next. And they only have 2 hour tickets £45 per person.
Outrageous!!
Of course I did.
I wash dishes in a hotel for a net monthly salary of £1,250.
In addition, many people cannot afford recreation due to the high costs within England.
Thank you so much for this informative video! I'm making my first journey to the UK early next year and I am excited that afet watching this video, Bath is now the first on my list of places to visit!
The popular Netflix TV series “Bridgerton” is filmed in Bath, so that might explain the actors in period costumes. Locations such as the Royal Crescent and Holborne Museum are used often used in the show
Ah, that explains it.
Yeah, that would have explained the amount of TV vans around the Circle and Fashion Museum.
They literally commandeered whole streets to film!
I did actually run into some of the parts of it being filmed, seeing as I live here and I did recognize some parts of Bath from the 5 minutes of Bridgerton I watched
Love bath beautiful city and surrounded by beautiful countryside of Somerset and Wiltshire border we also love Bradford on Avon Lacock castle Combe Stonehenge Avebury longleat cheddar frome wells Glastonbury and many more we stayed at premier inn in Trowbridge Wiltshire as it’s a 15 min train ride .
Yes, those places are nice and surrounded by nature.
I've actually been to most of those places, but only filmed Stonehenge and Bath so far.
Beautiful video and great information and tips. Also it was great that you shared your personal opinions snd thoughtd, it was like taking a walk with a friend 😁
Thank you for your work. Such an enjoyable video guide !
Thanks! It takes a long time to make these things, so I appreciate the kind comments :)
Born in Bath 73 years ago now live in Chichester West Sussex. I made a massive model of the weir as it is now so the top knobs could see how the water would run over it prior to building the weir as it is now good memories. Thanks for the video well done you 😉
Very cool building a model! And thank you for your kind comments :)
I really love this place i been in Bath 9 year ago ❤
Yes it's a lovely place, especially when it's sunny outside. Thanks for visiting 🙂
We absolutely loved Bath when we visited last year!! Can't wait to go back!
It is a lovely city for sure. I hoe you have nice weather when you go back there - it's beautiful in summer.
Thank you so much for your work ! 😊
Watched your video after visiting bath to get a bit more background/information about the city due to limited time. We missed a few things so your video was great to get a more thorough tour ❤
Maybe the next time you visit Bath, you'll get to do more things. I hope you do.
Thanks again.
Thanks for another great video, Bath is certainly worth a visit.
Thanks Jason! Yeah it's a quaint city to visit - full of history and it's a nice atmosphere.
It doesn't have the "rush-around" mentality that most of the other major UK cities has.
Loved your video! It´s structured very neatly, informative and very entertaining. I visited Bath around two years ago and can confirm it is a very magical city.
Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed this video. Bath really is a lovely place, for sure!
Wow, I thoroughly enjoyed this guide. Love the humour!!
Thanks very much!
Thank you. A nice "mantel" trip from across the pond.
Thanks Lynne, glad you enjoyed this video.
Check out my channel for more like this :)
Absolutely lovely. Amazing Job.😊
Thanks Mohini, much appreciated! 😀
I love your overviews and your sense of humor!😂😂
Thank you very much! Bath is a beautiful city and nice to explore in the summertime.
I have a new video coming out today (Tallinn) so be sure to check that out if you have the time?
Love these sort of videos. Keep it up! Worth mentioning I loved your PNE vs Blackpool video too 😃
Thanks Tom!
Wish I had more views and subs for my efforts!
Good video. Thanks for uploading.
Thanks Tony, much appreciated!
Very very useful and informative. I watched the video on the train on my way to the bath. I was unsure when I started my journey about what I had to look around in the bath but when I got down from the train I knew where I am going and what I have to look for. Thank you so much. Could you please make a video for Stonehenge as well?
Hi Tulasi, glad this video helped you tour Bath!
My friend from Miami just used this video for touring Bath today and I'm glad you both found it helpful.
I already made a video about Stonehenge right here: ua-cam.com/video/psaZ2xsz1Ic/v-deo.html
It is a beautiful city, we visited it in June. Very informative video, thank you 😃
Thanks! It is a lovely city and if you visit in the summer with nice weather, it's very classy indeed!
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Thank you for sharing information
My pleasure!
Wow! I'm definitely booking a trip this summer!
Yes you should! It's an interesting and fascinating city.
Well Done on your video!!! Great job explaining things.🥰
Thanks very much! Check out my channel for more videos like this :)
Absolutely love your Travel Guide Videos. Btw will you consider doing an episode on Rome?
Absolutely! My trip to Rome was cancelled because the governments kept changing the COVID rules. I wasn't happy about it at the time, but I'm sure I'll go back later in the year when things are relatively normal again.
I just love your reviews!
Thanks! I'll try and make more like this :)
Excellent video. Really loved it. We will definitely visit soon. 😍
Fantastic, I hope you do. Bath is a lovely city, especially when the weather is nice.
Great to see this beautiful content again
Thanks Klay!
@@UltimateBucketList anytime as always fire content
In Bath mow on holidays from Ireland. Bath is one of the most beautiful cities I've ever visited. The people are really warm and hospitable too.
Yes, I totally agree.
I really like your videos. Good materials for practicing listening and oral English ❤
Thanks! I'm glad this helps you practice English :)
Your videos are awesome ninh I really want to visit Bath I will go soon
Thanks! Yes Bath is a pretty cool place to visit. Not just for the history, but it's just an interesting place in general.
Excellent
Thanks!
Hey I just wanna say I loved your video guides! Been binging on every UK spots of yours
Thanks Benjamin. Yes, they definitely take a while to make, but I'm glad you enjoy them. I've got quite a few more on the way, so be sure to subscribe and turn on notifications so that you can see when I post them.
One day, I'm sure you'll travel to all these places and they'll be familiar to you!
@@UltimateBucketList Turned on the bell since last week haha I'll be visiting London soon this September, all thanks to your guides :) I'm sure your videos and channel will gain a lot of volume soon with the quality you deliver!
Excellent thank you and your voice is very engaging 😊
Thank you kindly - glad you enjoyed this video and my commentary.
another good video of a city I know well, I live about 1hr 30 mins away so have visited many times it's a great city, would recommend it
Thanks! Yes it really is a lovely city.
I'll be studying at the University of Bath soon, thanks for the video!
Excellent! I hope you enjoy studying in this wonderful city!
Hey, thanks for all your videos. You've got a great sense of humor and give honest opinions, which is always appreciated. Will you be doing a Chicago or Toronto video anytime soon?
I'd love to go to Chicago - I've never been and it'd be awesome.
Toronto on the other hand - it's like a 2nd home ... I'd love to go back, and I probably will next summer :)
New drinking game! We take a shot every time Ninh “highly recommends” an activity! 🔥🔥🔥
Haha, I've certainly cut down the amount on that phrase ...I still say it of course, but in my earlier videos, it was more common.
@@UltimateBucketList keep up the great work man! Loving your videos from LA! I highly recommend all your videos 😎
If you come to Ankara. Augustus temple. There is the Caracallan bath, the Julian column, the castle of the Romans and the Roman theatre. and the city of Gordion, where Alexander cut the knot (Midas), is in Ankara
Cool - maybe one day I will!
Thanks for sharing
Thanks, much appreciated!
Really good video, I like your style! I didn't know about the Bath Bun or Alexandra Park, so really quite useful. Yeah, lots of sight-seeing is rich-people stuff, innit?
Thanks! Whilst there's various bits of Bath that you'll feel out of place, most of the city is very nice.
Awesome 👏
Thanks 🤗
Just been there for a school trip ❤
Amazing, hope you had a wonderful time?
fantastic city BATH
Yes it certainly is. I could have spent several days there ... particularly in the Thermae Spa!
Lovely video. I was there 4 years ago and loved it. One thing, no mention of the Norland Nanny school in Bath
Thanks Janette. It really is a lovely city to visit.
Is Norland Nanny School a tourist attraction? I've never heard of it.
@Ultimate Bucket List the nannies that work in the Royal households are trained there
Going today!
Hope you had fun in the historic city of Bath!
Great video , thanks 🙏
Glad you liked it! Hope it helps you plan your next trip to Bath :)
@@UltimateBucketList going this Saturday, fingers crossed 🤞
Hi, thanks for sharing such a lovely and informative video. What about the Glass Blowing, I heard my friends saying it is good.
Thank you in advance
Thank you. Yes, there's a place called Bath Aqua Glass that does that ... it comes recommended.
I’m from Bath and it is known for its Georgian architecture not Victorian 😂 also regarding the Bath bun, the Sally Lunn one is it’s own thing and the Bath bun you had in the Bath bun shop is what an actual Bath bun is. The Ivy did used to do an afternoon tea with them as well but sadly have stopped now. Most people if they are flying from Europe can easily fly to Bristol airport, I’ve never ever had to fly internationally from Cardiff or Birmingham 😂 you can also fly to Heathrow and take a national express bus direct to Bath if you’re flying from somewhere outside of Europe too.
Thanks.
Agreed
Amazing video 🙂👍
Thanks! 🙂👍
"Hello" from Prince Edward Island, Canada. I enjoyed your video. Great narration. Cheers.
Wow, thanks very much! I know you're in PEI, but if you ever get a chance to visit Bath over the summer, it comes recommended! Thanks again 🙂
@@UltimateBucketList You know to call it "PEI" ? Have you spent time in Canada ?
@rowauthority well spotted! Most of my family is Canadian and most of my relatives live in the Greater Toronto Area. I was born and raised in England, but spent most of my summers in T.O. I'm sure to go back this year to watch the Jays and see some family, but I'd love to go to PEI one day.
@@UltimateBucketList PEI is bucolic, and charming, and quiet. You come here to relax. No one comes here for the nightlife.
For any Australians visiting Bath something else to know is that Arthur Phillip (the Governor of the first fleet and founder of Sydney) is honoured in the Abbey and has a residence in Bath at 19 Bennett St.
There is also a memorial to him diagonally opposite on the corner of Bennett St and Saville Row.
Cool facts to know, thanks!
Also Arthur Phillip’s grave is in Bathampton Church graveyard
So beautiful 😍
Very much so, yes!
Gotta say, as a Bath resident I have to commend the amount of ground you covered there. You must have walked a good ten miles!
(btw - Small correction, Bristol is the nearest airport =] ).
I don't know actually?! Maybe I did walk that far? It definitely felt like it going up Alexandra Park!
And I didn't know Bristol even had an airport. Huh, learn something new every day.
Thanks!
@@UltimateBucketList If you did that in one day you definitely walked far mate, you were popping up all over the shop 😂
@@wordtouremother yeah, I tend to do that! 😂
@@UltimateBucketListBristol airport is a pretty decent size, there are more than 100 destinations so it's much more convenient and not as big as going to the London airports
That’s not the only correction. ‘Victorian and Greek architecture’. What on earth? The circus and royal crescent makes him feel uncomfortable because it’s where ‘rich people’ live. Bath’s existence has been predominantly based around high society visiting it as a spa town. Maybe he should just visit Moorland Road.
very nice video
Thanks.
Hoping to go to Bath, London and Edinburgh next summer 2023! Any recommendation on the order? I am finding that flying into Heathrow and going to Bath first by train, spending a couple of days there, back to London for four days, then train to Edinburgh (fly out of EDI back to US) seems the best route because I don't find a good train from Bath to Edinburgh that doesn't go back through London anyway. But I love how you give ideas, pricing, routes to getting places, all the great tips in your videos. London video - ESPECIALLY loved how you "zoned" things so you could hit one area per day and know what to see. I feel really great about planning a trip there!
Hi Stephanie, thanks very much!
I personally think you got the order pretty much spot on, as trains are more readily available (and cheaper) direct to and from London (cheapest and fastest trains are with a company called 'Avanti').
You'll want to spend most of your trip exploring London, as you could do Bath in a single day (you'll need two at the very most) and it's the same for Edinburgh.
Speaking of which, my video on Edinburgh has been filmed ... but I haven't got around to editing it yet.
Turn on the notifications for my channel so that you know when it goes on live :)
The way I'd go from Bath to Edinburgh is that there are a few direct trains from Bristol, but not that manu (just 15 minutes from Bath by train) or a cheaper option is to go to Newport (which is about three quarters of an hour by train from Bath), then from there to Crewe or Manchester, and from there to Edinburgh
😂😂😂 i like your re action of that bun😂
I was just surprised that there was a lump of sugar baked into it ... I never expected that!
Also, although there is plenty of Victorian buildings, it's actually famous for it's GEORGIAN architecture, hence many Jane Austin films and programmes being filmed here.
Thanks for the pointer, but no need to CAPITALISE your points.
@@UltimateBucketList OK, apologies.
@@jessicat3649 No problems :)
The buns are ok but……. The cinnamon butter 😋 Bath is a lovely place for a day out . 🐨🥰
It certainly is!
If I wasn't intolerant to cinnamon, I'd agree with you ;)
i read somewhere that area's like the circus are actually built on former arena's. It was the case in Rome itself where they found the location of a former gladiator arena smaller than the official colloseum. Since those where made of wood often this could also be the case here. Interesting thought
That would make a lot of sense actually. It certainly explains a lot!
@@UltimateBucketList if you look towards rome for example on google map towards the "Giardino Fernando Masone" in Rome, you first see a roundabout however, it is known that there was an old arena/theater on that spot and you can still recognize it through the new buildings there that are built exactly in a round shape aswell right on top of the old arena/theatre
It happens a lot all over the world. Same here in the netherlands in Utrecht for example. A whole street was built Right on the spot where an old castle called "Vreedeburg" use to be. The street now is called "Vredeburg but the outline of the castle can be found through looking from above. The edge of the buildings form the complete castle wall outline
Nice video
Thanks
as a suggestion, you should go cornwall for a video
great video (:
Cornwall's a big place, it'd take a while to cover anything. But yeah, nice idea.
@@UltimateBucketList fair point
Would you ever consider retempting to go to the san siro and accomplished going on a tour aswell knowing that you support ac what do think of their progress in the seria a and how much further will they go?
Maybe if I'm in Milan again for a match, but I wouldn't go out of my way just to do a tour there. Apparently it's a bit rubbish.
As a Milan fan, I'm almost stunned at the amount of progress they've made. I was sceptical about re-signing Ibrahimovic and even more sceptical about Stefano Pioli as manager, given that he's been mediocre for every club he's managed. But I've been proven horribly wrong because they look pretty good right now, both in terms of playing and results. I think they're two or three players away from challenging for the Champions League title, but they're still behind Liverpool, Real Madrid and Manchester City.
Forza Milan!
How long did you stay in Bath to visit all the attractions shown in the video? I’m planning to go to Bath in May and don’t know how much time to book the accommodation? Thanks, Ninh, loved your England videos. I will use them as my guide during my visit.
Hi Ann, thanks very much for the kind comments to my videos.
Believe it or not, everything that you saw in this video took just one day to explore and film!
Bath is an easy city to walk around, and attractions are right next to each other - or a short walk away.
You'll have no problem covering everything here in a day or possibly two.
Any more than that, and I think you'll be bored.
Hope that helps?
@@UltimateBucketList Thanks, Ninh, much appreciate your reply.
I’ve been here. This was when I was like 11 tho and wasn’t interested. Very interesting video ninh. Been binge watching the sports rules videos recently lol.
It's definitely more interesting as an Adult, for sure.
And thanks.
@@UltimateBucketList as a kid all I cared about was video games lol.
BRISTOL Airport is our nearest Airport here in Bath!!! Granted you can't fly in directly from the US, but you certainly can from most of Europe and it's definitely bigger (and much, much closer) than Cardiff! There is also an airport bus that goes from Bristol airport right to the centre of Bath and back.
Again, thanks but no need to CAPITALISE your points - to some, that's considered rude.
@@UltimateBucketList I only capitalised Bristol in the previous message so it stood out as a place name amongst hundreds of comments. Particularly as it is by far the most convenient and well connected airport to Bath which may be useful for some people to know. My intention was not to be rude. Apologies.
@@jessicat3649 apologies accepted. Thanks again for the pointers. :)
Awesome video, one place I'd recommend going is Italy don't know where in Italy. But amazing food and definitely amazing places.
I've made several videos on Italy ... Venice, Milan - you should check them out.
Are there any shops you can buy art work/ pictures of the bridge? 😊
Yes, there are plenty of arts and craft shops around that area of Bath for you to buy paintings of the Pulteney Bridge.
Please do a video on the country of Qatar in preparation for the Wprld Cup
If I can get there, yeah.
Is Stonehenge a good trip from bath?
Yes it's not too far. Be sure to check out my video on Stonehenge if you're interested!
Very nice ancient Roman city. You mention that The Bath Abbey is free entrance. But the Google map shown that entrance fees 7.5 pound is needed! So which one is correct! ?
Thanks very much.
Since this video was made, they now charge an admission fee of £7.50
It used to be free, but you were expected to make a voluntary donation of some amount of money.
@@UltimateBucketList ok thanks for your verification! 🙏🙏🙏
Hi! Is the donation cash only or can you use your card? I’m visiting from the US in April and I want to know if I need cash. 😀
Hi! Like America, the United Kingdom is quickly becoming a cashless society, so if you have a contactless card - you'll be fine pretty much anywhere. I hope you've found this video guide helpful in planning your trip?
I remember when I was in Sydney just after the bushfires, it was raining, I went to a museum, it was closed, I went to another museum, that was closed too, so I walked for about God knows how long getting soaked
That sounds incredibly familiar!
What are the chances eh? Eventually though, I did find a museum that was open
I'm visiting Bath next week. So would you recommend taking a guided walking tour or a hop on hop off bus tour? What would I see on the latter?
Walking tour, yes. You'll be able to see pretty much everything in this video with a short walking tour.
Bus tour, no. Bath is so small that you'd be wasting your money. Best to explore on your own on foot - it's much more fun.
Hope that helps?
@@UltimateBucketList Yes this is excellent guidance and much appreciated. I'll be going Wednesday and have taken up your advice. Thanks
@@indrajitadvani3742 you're welcome, I'm sure you'll love the place. Enjoy Bath!
@@UltimateBucketList Thanks...any recommendation on where to park?
@@indrajitadvani3742did you enjoy it? Don't try to park in the centre, it's expensive and there's never anywhere to do it, the best way is to use one of the three park and rides where you park outside the city and take a bus in
Admiral Horatio Nelsen was treated here.
I didn't know that?
How about a guide around NYC ?
I'd love to. NY is a pricey place to make videos, so it'd have to be worth it.
Sadly, just making a video about a popular city isn't enough to guarantee views - everyone else is doing the same.
Me visit bath in 2015.
Yes, it's a lovely city.
No one mentions in these videos that Baths / flowing water systems there were incorporated into the city’s design for the health of its residents as a use for Hydrotherapy.
Yeah, that's technically true.
I went in 1998 and they didn't have any tour guides dressed as Romans, at least not that I recall. I'm bummed. That would have been cool. It was cool anyway.
Well, all the more reason to come back and experience it all over again 😉
@@UltimateBucketList I hope to one day. I'd love to bring my kids (born after my last trip but adults now).
Closiest international airport is Bristol
Yes
Do I see 2 parking tickets on that roller (18.03). 🤣😅🤣😅
Yes you do! I'm sure if he can afford a Rolls Royce, he can afford the parking tickets?! 🤣
@@UltimateBucketList That is the sad thing. Parking regulations are not there just to annoy people, they are there to help keep the traffic flowing in our crowded urban areas, many of which were designed in the days of the horse and cart.
What that says of the person who owns that Rolls Royce is he thinks because he has the money the laws do not apply to him. Not a good look 🤮🤮
@@kevinpitt2203 rich people buying their way out of trouble and thinking that they're above the law isn't anything new I'm afraid.
@@UltimateBucketList I agree. But that does not mean it should be normalised. Call it out and tell it how it is whenever possible.
where to park the car in Bath? :)
beta.bathnes.gov.uk/find-car-parks-bath
@@UltimateBucketList thanks. I am going to Bath this Sunday and figured you can park off the street a bit further up from the centre where there are no restrictions
@@flesz_ well, whenever I'm in Bath, I park on residential streets that are a few minutes away from the city centre for free. It's a bit of a walk, but it saves paying for it. A quick Google search should come up with some quiet ones.
@@UltimateBucketList will do that , thanks
Did you know the S.P.Q.R you see on the statues is Latin for senatus populusque romanus or in English senate and people of rome P.S Bristol is the nearest airport
I did.
Something tells me that some jokers piss in the water when no one's looking
It'd be pretty hard to get away with that!
True, but some of them somehow find a way
How can a city look like a tiny village in the sticks???
It's quite a small city to begin with, it's definitely not a 'city' in the size category that's for sure.
Still a pretty cool place to visit though.
It has 100,000 people so it's quite small, but it has a lot of greenery
Bath
What a funny name 😄
Not really.
It’s named after the baths
I wouldn't recommend the baths to anyone who's been to ones in Italy or anywhere else. £30 is an extortionate fee.
I mean, it's all relative. The ones in Italy are a rip off compared to the ones in Budapest. The ones in Budapest are a rip off compared to the ones in Turkey. It's all relative.
Is there any way to see even a small part of the Roman baths (from the top) without having to buy the ticket and doing the tour? I was quite shocked to see the price.
@@dianajm3370no, the only way is to pay unless you're a Bath resident, in which case it's free
