Visiting Leicester

Leicester comes with all the usual city attractions: shops, museums, restaurants and theatre. There are a few more unusual attractions that make it stand out though.

Take budding astronauts on a bus to the National Space Centre a couple of miles from the city centre to see the planetarium and learn about space travel. Or visit the Jewry Wall and Archaeology Museum where entrance is free and you’ll see some of the UK’s finest Roman artefacts.

Tips: At weekends the area around the Clock Tower has a vibrant nightlife. Or head to the Belgrave Road for a great curry.
