Reason 1: Football fans will get to learn about Leicester City
If you enjoy watching football, then you must have heard about Leicester before. Leicester City won the Premier League in 2016 and the FA Cup in 2021. More and more people believe in the great potential of this team, and they come to Leicester to watch them play live. You can visit the stadium that has been the teamβs home since 2002, and you can spot all the street art related to the team in the stadium or around the city.
Reason 2: The king who was buried in a car park
In 2012, the world was shocked when scientists announced that the skeleton found in a car park in Leicester belongs to Richard III. The king was buried there in 1485. He died at the Battle of Bosworth. His line ended then, and Henry Tudor was crowned the new king. The otherwise typical car park obtained the status of an archaeological site after this significant discovery. Besides the car park, you should visit the King Richard III Visitor Centre in order to learn more about that time period. Furthermore, you can watch the film The Lost King (2022), parts of which were filmed in Leicester.
Reason 3: The countryside surrounding Leicester
Leicester is a large city, meaning that there is a plethora of things to do, but you shouldnβt limit yourself within its borders. Take your car and discover the cool places at its outskirts. In case you havenβt got a car, you shouldnβt let it stop you because Enjoy Travel is here to make the process of hiring one easier than ever. In a few seconds you get to compare all the available cars in Leicester and book the one that matches your travelling needs online. Then, you are able to drive to the stunning Abbey Park and the Charnwood Forest.
Reason 4: A great number of museums
Are you a knowledge-thirsty person? Are you a curious spirit that enjoys learning about cool aspects of life? If yes, there are several museums and centres in Leicester that you will adore. The Leicester Museum and Art Gallery has got literally everything. Displays pertaining to science, arts and history are there to satisfy all kinds of curious minds. If outer space intrigues you more, then you should pay a visit to the National Space Centre. Also, it is wise to check what is on at the De Montfort Hall, as there might be a performance that you would like to attend.
