Welcome to Leicester

Lots of cities are known for having one or two distinctive features. In the case of Leicester, there’s so much it offers and so much it excels in, that it can be hard to know where to start.

Perhaps we should begin by talking about its love of sporting history, with new chapters to its illustrious record books being written every year. The most striking example of this is, of course, their game-changing 2016 Premier League title win. This passion for sport isn’t just reserved for football either. They’re also home to the Leicester Tigers, who are considered by many to be the most successful rugby union time in British history, as well as the country’s oldest basketball team. It’s really no surprise that Leicester was voted the UK’s greatest sporting city in 2016.

However, just as important and impressive is Leicester’s musical legacy. This has its roots in rock and roll in the 50s and 60s, continuing through to the modern-day. You can catch all the best up and coming musicians in venues like The Shed, while those wanting to enjoy internationally renowned acts will find plenty to sink their teeth into at the O2 Academy.

It’s also a wonderful city for lovers of history, with enough museums and local landmarks to keep even the most insatiable history buff satisfied. Or perhaps you’d simply prefer a bite to eat, a quiet pint in the pub or plenty of green open space for you to roam around. Well, Leicester more than has you covered there too. And if for some reason, all of this isn’t enough to keep you occupied, excellent transport links mean that you never have to stay in one place.
