Advertorial blog for Jorvik Viking Centre
Take in the sights, sounds and smells of Viking-age York, explore the story behind the ground-breaking Coppergate dig and discover remarkably well-preserved Viking artefacts.
Travel around 10th century York, experiencing what it was like living in the city. Listen to a Norse couple arguing over what to have for dinner, take in smells from fish to woodsmoke and spot the famous Bogar (man on the toilet). The sights, sounds and smells of the Viking Age are brought vividly back to life as you journey back 1,000 years.
Where else can you meet a Viking? Get the most out of your visit by chatting to friendly Viking hosts and discover even more about life on the street of the cupmakers (Coppergate).
