York Map
ORIENTATION AND PRACTICAL INFORMATION
York’s streets are generally short, winding, and unlabeled, and the longer ones change names every block or so. Fortunately, most attractions he within the city walls, so you can’t get too lost, and the York Minster (cathedral), visible from almost anywhere, provides an easy reference point. The River Ouse (OOZE) cuts through the city, curving from west to south. The city centre lies between the Ouse and the Minster; Coney Street, Parliament Street, and Stonegate are the main thoroughfares.
