The Bath City Guides answer the questions every visitor brings: where to eat a few streets away from the Abbey crowds, which Georgian sights need a ticket and which are free, where the evening goes in a city that closes early and how to reach Stonehenge or Bristol without a coach tour. Each guide is a short, opinionated list with the reason to go and one practical tip for every place, and it opens in your browser as soon as you pay.

Three places from the guides
Bertinet Bakery
New Bond Street Place
Richard Bertinet’s sourdough bakery just off Milsom Street, with chocolate babka, cinnamon pretzels and flaky laminated pastries. The coffee and pastry deal is the smart order. From the food guide.
Pulteney Bridge
River Avon, Bridge Street
Robert Adam’s bridge of 1769, lined with small shops on both sides like very few others anywhere. Cross it, then walk down to the weir for the view everyone photographs. Free, ten minutes. From the things to do guide.
The Bell Inn
Walcot Street
A pub owned by its community, with jazz, folk and blues most weeks, a real fire and a tiny pizzeria in the back garden. Entry is usually free and the Sunday afternoon session is a local ritual. From the nightlife guide.
Plan your days in Bath
Day one: the Abbey and the Roman Baths with booked tickets, a walk over Pulteney Bridge, then up to the Circus and the Royal Crescent, with a pie at a city pub and a pint in one of the old inns at night. Day two: get out of town, along the canal towpath to the Dundas Aqueduct or by train to Bradford on Avon or Bristol, and end with sunset from Alexandra Park. For a rainy or slow day, combine the free Victoria Art Gallery, the Herschel Museum, a bakery lunch and an evening at the rooftop spa or a comedy night.
