Where the past comes to life. Jorvik Viking Festival

Grab your iron helmet, shield and axe, and travel back in time to the age of Norse sagas at the Jorvik Viking Festival! The nine-day event, which started on February 12, continues today with a Viking procession in Coppergate. Witness the ancient city of York come alive with the thunder of war drums and the clamour of market traders. Meanwhile, a short trip to the haunting beauty of Whitby Abbey, pictured here, offers a peaceful contrast. This Gothic masterpiece has withstood the North Sea's winds since the 7th century, whispering tales of monastic life and inspiring Bram Stoker's classic novel 'Dracula.' In the 9th century, it is said that the Abbey was abandoned because of raids from the Vikings. Whether you're a history buff or crave unique experiences, the Jorvik Viking Festival is sure to transport you to an era long past but never forgotten.
