Jorvik Viking Centre
Step into the Viking-age streets of 10th-century York at the renowned JORVIK Viking Centre, where history unfolds beneath modern-day Coppergate.
Built on the site of one of Britain’s most significant archaeological discoveries, JORVIK offers an atmospheric reconstruction of the Viking city, brought to life through sights, sounds, and even scents based on real evidence unearthed beneath the streets of York. From animatronic townsfolk to authentic materials, every detail reflects a time when York thrived as a bustling hub of trade and culture.
Inside its galleries, artefacts recovered from the original excavation reveal the intricacies of daily life, showcasing the rich blend of traditions, goods, and languages that shaped this northern stronghold over a millennium ago.
