The Bath Abbey floor is by-donation, but the thing worth planning for is the 212-step tower tour — small, guided, Monday to Saturday, and it sells out on the day while the Roman Baths queue watches. It's the best view in Bath for a fraction of the rooftop-spa price. To make the most of your visit, consider booking the tower tour in advance, as it tends to sell out quickly. We couldn't confirm the price of the tower tour, but the Abbey floor is by-donation. You can check with Bath Abbey directly for the most up-to-date pricing. The tower tour offers a unique perspective on the city, with stunning views of the surrounding rooftops and countryside. The tour is guided, and the small group size ensures that you'll have a personalized and informative experience. Bath Abbey is located in the heart of the city, within a 20-minute walk of the Roman Baths and other major attractions. You can also take a Tick Taxi, which is owned by the same group as this publisher - a journey from the train station to the Abbey will cost around the standard metered fare, which we couldn't confirm for this run and recommend checking with Tick Taxi directly for the most up-to-date pricing.
