Leeds is a city that I've heard a lot of great things about recently so after doing a quick google search, I booked a flight and hotel and headed over to discover it for myself, and this is how I spent my day.
I've been to quite a few cities in the United Kingdom but I'd never been to the north of England so I was excited to see how it differed to other parts of the UK. I packed a bag and set my alarm for 3:30 AM (yes, getting up at this time was as horrendous as it sounds) and headed for the airport. I landed in Leeds at 7:30AM after a quick 45 minute flight and apart from the weather being bitterly cold, the city made a warm impression.
The airport is only half an hour from the city centre so after a quick bus journey I was right in the middle of Leeds, ready to explore. On the journey in, I passed so many beautiful buildings with amazing historic structure which set the tone for the architecture of the rest of the city. Most of the city is filled with tall Victorian buildings built with old stone and pillars which gives it a beautiful vibe.

Instead of searching for things to do in Leeds, I decided to head out and wander around the streets, where I stumbled across some lovely little arcades and walkways. The city soon became buzzing around lunch time and there was a great atmosphere. I fell in love with the marble detailing in the Victoria Centre which was compiled of designers shops such as Vivienne Westwood and Louis Vuitton, so it was only window shopping for me unfortunately.
I stupidly trusted google maps to bring me back to my hotel in the quickest way, but instead it decided to bring me on a detour around the outskirts of the city, even under a tunnel and I ended up walking for almost 40 minutes (my legs felt it the next morning). However I happened to come across this cool little lane under a bridge called the Dark Arches which was lit with multicoloured lights and had a few bars, so you really do discover something new with every corner you turn in Leeds!
What is the nicest city you've ever visited? Emily x
