Tips to make the best of your Hop-on Hop-off Bath tour

  • Hop on board and do a full loop around the city so you can better plan the rest of your itinerary.
  • The Royal Crescent and Bath Abbey are gorgeous, but don’t miss the quirky corners of the city like Pulteney Bridge’s shops, the Holburne Museum, or even a lazy picnic by the canal.
  • Plan ahead for the Roman Baths as tickets sell out quickly. Book online in advance and aim for an early morning or late afternoon stint to dodge the heaviest crowds.
  • Bath’s charm is in its cobbled streets, hidden lanes, and hilly walks, so good footwear is a must. The weather is also famously unpredictable, so packing a compact umbrella will save your day.
  • Bath has the only natural hot spring spa in Britain. Head there for a mix of relaxation and sightseeing, especially from the rooftop pool with views across the city. Bring swimwear and book ahead to guarantee your slot.
  • Skip the chain cafés and try Bath buns, Sally Lunn’s historic buns, or indulge in some quintessential afternoon English tea. Pair it with a pint at a traditional pub for the full local experience.
