Essentials in Leeds
Shopping District: Shopping is a big deal in Leeds and the best place to do it is in the city centre along Briggate Street. The city also has some famous Victorian arcades. The Victoria Quarter is great for posh shops but for something more affordable, try Queen's and Thornton's arcades.
Chapel Allerton: If it's hot new restaurants and bars you're after then this north Leeds neighbourhood has got your back. In the summer, the streets are buzzing till late night. By day, don't miss a walk through the beautiful Gledhow Valley Woods.
Leeds Festival: If it's live music you're after, this summer festival is a must. Three days, hundreds of live bands playing to 80,000+ people. It's a riot! Bring your tent and the appropriate clothes for any type of weather.
