You could walk the 3.4km around York city walls in an hour or so. But, take in sights and the occasional pub en-route, and that hour could easily stretch into a day – and night. Yes, the walls even have in-built coffee shops. This one's The Perky Peacock under Lendal Bridge.

Definitely don't need a car. Most of York centre is pedestrainised or taxi/buses only during the day. PLus parking is a nightmare as already said. I live on the edge of the city and about a 10/15 walk from everything in the city.
Is 2 days enough time to visit York? Yes, resoundingly 48 hours is more than enough time to explore all that York has to offer, as well as enjoy some of its restaurants and wander its streets.
