Leeds Sightseeing
Sightseeing Overview
One of the most striking buildings is the Town Hall, which was designed by Cuthbert Brodrick as a statement of civic pride and was opened by Queen Victoria in 1858. It was built to reflect Leeds' wealth and power and it houses a wonderful concert hall that is still used today for orchestral performances, organ recitals and gala concerts.
Alongside the historic architecture sit stylish contemporary apartments and bold new developments with numerous galleries, theatres, craft markets and museums liberally dotted about the city.
But it's Leeds' shopping experiences that really set it apart as a city like no other in the region; with high street chains sitting alongside countless independent retailers and stylish boutiques, the city has earned a well-deserved reputation as a great place to shop until both you and your credit card are worn out.
And after the shopping's done, the city offers a fantastic range of bars, cafes and restaurants to relax in.
