Bath - The most relaxing city in Europe

Our very own Bath has been voted the 2nd most relaxing city in the World by a Global travel survey. The Somerset city beat off stiff competition from the likes of Florence, Washington and Rome to take the silver medal and was only beaten by Sedona in Arizona U.S.

If you ever take the time to visit this gem of a city, you can see why this place is so relaxing. Being built on the only naturally occurring hot springs in the UK, there is an abundance of spas and hotels that solely aim to take the weight off your feet and assist in recharging those batteries. The pick of the bunch is Thermae Bath Spa, where you can experience Bath's mineral enriched waters both inside and outside. A 2-hour spa session costs just £25 giving you decent value for money and a service that is difficult to beat anywhere in England.

Voted as a UNESCO World heritage site, this city has plenty of relaxing sight-seeing options; chief of which are the Roman baths that take centre stage in this charmer of a city. As well as this, Bath contains some of Europe's finest architecture such as the Pulteney bridge and the Royal Crescent both of which are lovely to walk around during the Spring and Summer months.
