This first-century Roman bathhouse complex was a meeting point for patricians who came to bathe, drink the curative waters, and socialize. The baths fell out of use with the Roman exodus from Britain but were rediscovered and excavated in the late-19th century. Explore the Great Bath, which is filled with steaming, mineral-rich water from Bath’s hot springs.

Hannah made things easy for us
We were running 30mins late due to the traggic… and called to notify the tour organisers about this. Hannah was brilliant. She made sure we connected with the tour guide and followed up on the status of our situation. Even though we missed the city tour, we absolutely enjoyed ourselves at the Roman Baths. Hannah thanks for your help, we appreciate it.

The sights, knowledge, trivia and history of Bath!
Great tour with all the views of the city. The tour guide, a student from the university was very knowledgeable of Bath’s deep history. I learned so much and walked away with a great understanding of the amazing place!

Q:Can I purchase tickets to the Roman Baths online in advance?
A:Yes, booking is recommended as this is Bath’s super popular attraction. Visitors can book directly at the site, online, or via a day trip from a different city.

A:No food and drink, including hot beverages, could be consumed in the Roman Baths. The only exception is water in a transparent container. The Roman Baths attraction does have the Pump Room Restaurant, though, where visitors can enjoy breakfast, brunch, or afternoon tea—often with music from a resident pianist.
