Jorvik Viking Centre

In the historic center of York is the Jorvik Viking Centre, built on the remains of the ancient Viking city. In this center we can see the findings made by the York Archaeological Trust between 1976 and 1981, which included a collection of houses and workshops dating back a thousand years. Downstairs, we came to a room where we could walk across a glass floor and see the excavated remains below. After a walk through an actual-size re-creation of Jorvik, we found a series of rooms with more information about the life of the Vikings in Jorvik. The center is perfect for both adults and children, with everything coming to life in a way that's far more interesting than a typical museum with exhibits hidden away in glass cases.
