Take a bus   I bought a ticket for one of the double decker tour busses. It's a great way to get around the city. There are advantages to getting around this way. The ticket is good all day and you can get on and off the bus as often as you like. Bath is relatively small but it's a quick way to get from place to place, especially if you're short on time. It makes frequent stops and runs regularly. Also we were able to ride it up above the city into part of the countryside. This afforded beautiful views of Bath and was a little off the beaten path.

The Train or the Bus                                                                                                                       I was living in Oxford when I visited Bath. It's easy to get to from both Oxford and London. There are frequent (and relatively cheap) trains and busses from both cities. Just check the schedules. On the way home, in fact, we missed our bus back to Oxford and took a train to London and then a bus home easily.
