Stylish, Stately and A Shopping Haven!
Between Bronte Country and the Yorkshire Dales, Leeds is a stately city with a wealth of impressive Georgian and Victorian buildings. The most celebrated is the town hall, a historic gem with a huge clock tower supported by columns. Just around the corner is the understated Leeds Cathedral, and between the two is Millennium Square, a large urban space that plays host to outdoor concerts and a German Christmas market.
Shopping in Leeds is fantastic. Kirkgate Market is Europe’s largest covered market, and the magnificent, round Corn Exchange is home to exclusive boutiques. The city also has the first Harvey Nichols outside of London, as well as the usual high street brands.
As home to 2 large universities, Leeds has a young and vibrant vibe. It has repeatedly been voted the clubbing capital of the UK and is home to the Leeds Festival, an annual music event that attracts thousands.
The city also has excellent sporting pedigree. Internationals are held at Headingley cricket ground, and Leeds United FC and the Leeds Rhinos rugby league team are well-known names in their fields.
On the outskirts of the city are wonderful Roundhay Park, Kirkstall Abbey and Leeds-Bradford International Airport. Leeds accommodations on Booking.com covers all areas of this elegant city.

Leeds is a very vibrant city.
Leeds is a very vibrant city. The triathlon was in progress on our visit, but there was plenty of signs advising of the race.
There are wonderful restaurants, bars and cafes. The shopping is fantastic, many areas are under cover for those rainy days.
We used Leeds as a base and travelled to York via the train (appx 45 mins travel), we also visited the lake district for the day (about 2 hours drive). Horsforth to visit The Brownlee arms, for some Gastro Pub food.

Leeds is a very vibrant city and caters for all likes.
You name it and it is going on in Leeds.
Lots of cafes and eateries - you have to try them all.
It offers a lot in the arts in all forms, from professional opera to a vibrant music scene. It is very welcoming for individuals to engage in the creative arts, to socialise and exhibit work.
There are interesting museums within and around the city which give you a taste to explore the countryside more. Heard of the Tour de Yorkshire? Bring your bike or hire one to join the international visitors peddling their way through the challenging climbs but with fantastic scenery.
Best way to get around is to buy a daily or weekly Metro (bus) pass.

We were there over a bank holiday weekend to go to a variety of Antique Markets. We did a fair amount of driving with Leeds as our base and ate at a seaside restaurant each night. This city is a great city for young people with a very active night scene.

Leeds was easy to get around, with plenty of bars and restaurants. If we had stayed longer, there seemed to be plenty of museums and things advertised
Really friendly people make it feel a lot more relaxing than you would expect from a city that size

A very lively city with a good vibe, some great old buildings like the Corn Exchange and some interesting new ones. Visited Royal Armouries - even the building itself is worth seeing! Will definitely come back when the City Art Gallery has reopened.
“Friendly helpful staff. When I arrived at the hotel after working late the kitchen had closed but the consierge recommended the restaurant across the road that was excellent. Great location right in the centre of Leeds.”
“I like how close the hotel is to the city centre and shops etc.... Easy to find and get to, all staff were very helpful and polit. Room are very clean and anything you needed. Great views and couldn't hear anyone else in next rooms :-)”
