With its 758 000 inhabitants, the largest city in Yorkshire has a destiny similar to Manchester. Throughout the Industrial Revolution and until the First World War, both cities dressed the world. From this rich heritage, Leeds has preserved a stunning Victorian architecture around the Victorian Quarter, its pedestrian and commercial heart where large, narrow streets, narrow alleys and a multitude of beautiful galleries are deployed. The sloping lanes around the Corn Exchange and the docks have restored in the past warehouses and goods on the Area River. The sector has been perfectly rehabilitated and now has trendy bars and restaurants. Further north, the city hall area houses a number of high-quality and completely free museums, such as the Leeds Art Gallery and the Leeds City Museum. We also need to mention the Royal Armouries, which have been closed on the southern but national docks, for their collection of arms and armor. Leeds sensu today is the third largest city in England, even though its agglomeration comes fourth, after the mancunienne metropolis. It is a very festive, but resolutely chic, European student capital than its western neighbours. There are traditional pubs, ultra-popular boxes, well-known tables, and shops to complete. A day from York or Manchester gives a good taste of the places, but the most shopping enthusiasts can stay for several days. It is also the best starting point for the Yorkshire Dales by train.
