Book in advance

Booking ahead is more important than ever. If you already have some must-see places on your list for Bath, we advise booking a time slot for entry to an attraction, or a table for something to eat or drink.  

You may wish to consider the time of the week or day when you’re planning your trip too. Often there are more booking slots available at attractions in the afternoon than at opening time, and places are quieter during the week than at weekends.
