Bath Hop On Hop Off Bus Overview

Bath is a very walkable city, everything is packed into a very compact area.

You do not really need a Hop On Hop Off bus from a logistical sense, although there is a tour option that offers a Bath skyline tour outside the city of Bath.


However, what you do get is a good orientation of Bath perched high up on the double deck bus. Especially if you are visiting independently the commentary can set the scene nicely for your stay.

Bath Hop On Hop Off Bus Routes, Frequencies etc

There are two routes covered by the same ticket.


The core route covers the city of Bath itself and takes you to the Roman Baths, the Pump Room, the Abbey where England's first King was crowned and the Assembly Rooms amongst others. In fact all the main attractions in the city..

The second 'Skyline Tour' takes you from Bath Railway Station round Claverton Down past the University of Bath and Prior Park Landscape Garden.


The tours use modern double decker buses like those photographed here. There is a live guide conducting the tour in English with headsets available with pre-recorded commentary in Spanish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian, Cantonese, Mandarin and Polish.

Bath HOHO Bus In Front Of Bath Abbey

The core tour lasts about 50 minutes and the Skyline Tour about 45 minutes if you do not hop off. You can use the bus as an initial orientation and subsequently to ferry you from one attraction to another if you wish.


Tickets can be purchased from the driver and last for 24 hours.

There are concessions for juniors and families.


You will find bus stops by all the main attractions plus the rail and coach stations.


The ticket also gives you a discount to some of Bath's leading attractions including the Roman Baths.
