Visit Leeds

Leeds is a great city for socialising. The restaurant, Friends of Ham around the corner from the Queens Hotel, was amazing! Really nice food and wine. The Brew Society close by was also a great location for good beers with a nice atmosphere.

Our trip was to visit the Royal Armoury Museum. This museum has armaments from around the world spread over 5 floors. The museum has talks throughout the day which were excellent. Museum was very good and we spent all day there. The museum is in the docks area which are clean and modern with eating places. We ate in Mumtaz restaurant which was clean, good service and good food. We had a quick walk around the city centre, a mixture of new and old architecture (the indoor market is in an old building, worth a look). People were pleasant and we found a couple of good pubs doing good ale and food. We wished we had another day there to look around further.

Great city I have stayed a few times due to family living in the area. My son has started university in Leeds and he loves the City as it is a very friendly place. If you like Indian food try Nawaab on Wellington road its fantastic.

Lots of roadworks, found driving around trying to find a carpark in the evening stressful. Satnav was confusing to follow. City seemed better in daylight. Visited Leeds for uni open day so didn't see much of the city itself but looked as though it had plenty of character. Would return to see more.

Leeds is a fantastic city with lots to see and do. A great selection of bars and restaurants and an attractive city centre and dock area. Just be careful of the accommodation you book as some of it is not as described!

Leeds is a fabulous multi cultural city with lots going on. We've had staycations a couple of times a year for a long time. If you stay in the city centre everythings within walking distance. I clocked up 10km just during the day. There's lots of shopping opportunities, bargain buys and high end. The indoor and outdoor market have great quality meat, fish and fruit and veg as well as food outlets. There's a good John Lewis and the Victorian quarter area is unique with high end shops including Vivienne Westwood. There's lots of culture. I usually visit the art gallery but this time I visited the Leeds museum. A fantastic building with some interesting exhibitions. The Leeds story and 50 years of hip hop were very interesting. A live band was performing in front of Radisson blu called the live notes and the sound quality was superb. Great versions of Estelle and Alicia Keyes songs. Visited the Duck and Drake bar Saturday night, a great venue for bands with character. The band Perfect Shambles were brilliant. There's something for everyone in Leeds, which has pulled us back to visit all these years. The only negative is the City Council have had the City Centre full of roadworks for the past few years. The road in front of the Queens is closed but there are no coherent diversion road signs. The car sat nav tried to direct us into roadworks and the signs had us driving round in circles. The council are trying to promote cycling and walking but don't seem to care about tourists who drive into the city. The trains are totally unreliable so not an option. My top tip for drivers is put google maps on before you get to the city centre. It's the only thing which got us out of the nightmare of being stuck in traffic with no clue where to go.
