Bath has a superb and varied range of museums - 17 within a square mile in fact. The recently refurbished Holburne Museum re-opened last year, an impressive building that's home to a fascinating collection of paintings, sculptures and more. Make sure you check out Bath's best address - Number One Royal Crescent, a magnificently restored town house that creates a wonderfully vital picture of life in Georgian Bath.
For Jane Austen fans, the Jane Austen Centre is a must-see, explaining how the city affected her life and writing. You can also enjoy a delicious snack in the Regency themed tea rooms too.
You can also enjoy the World Heritage Site Audio Tour, a free audio walking tour that can be downloaded to an MP3 player to guide you on an informative guided walk of the city's museums.
