Leeds, England
Unlike some holiday destinations in the UK,
Leeds is not widely known for being a traditional "tourist town." But
Leeds is a hidden gem for the holiday traveller, rich with manufacturing
and mercantile history, yet modern and up-to-date, too. Although it was
once known as a manufacturing and industrial "Town of 1,ooo Trades," Leeds
has transformed itself into a vibrant, forward-looking city that still
retains its historic Victorian, Georgian and even Medieval flavour.
Visitors on cheap holidays to Leeds are treated to a wide range of things
to see and do, including superlative shopping opportunities, a positively
buzzing nightlife, thriving universities, several scenic walking trails
and a wide variety of professional and amateur sporting events, including
cricket, rugby and football. An attractive city, Leeds successfully blends
older and more contemporary civic architecture into a robust mixture of
museums, art galleries, cafés, restaurants, clubs, individual one-off
boutiques, and theatres. And because the city benefits from good roadways,

And at Kirkgate Market, Leeds offers a traditional British market with indoor and outdoor stalls. The unusual Corn Exchange is another shopping must-see.
But while you're in Leeds, you'll want to do more than shop. Spend some time taking in the atmosphere at the city's symbol and its pride and joy, Town Hall. It's one of the world's classic Victorian buildings, and with its stunning, recently restored interior, it's the site of an impressive number of concerts, particularly during the popular International Concert Season.
