City Guide: Leicester
Leicster is a well known destination for shopping, outdoor pursuits and top notch curry.
People like to cluster around the Leicester city centre and shopping streets because of landmarks like the bustling Market Place and the timber-framed Guild Hall.
One should not miss the vast Highcross Leicester shopping mall- with its shiny mirrored façade. The glass walkway leads from the parking area into the shopping mall. You can find everything from haberdashery to Irish music at Leicester Market- with Europe’s biggest outdoor covered market that spans in all manners of goods and produces fresh foods- with the beautiful East Midlands countryside.
The Drayton Manor theme park is just 30miles (48km) from Leicester. Teens can go on rollercoaster while younger kids can meet big cats and monkeys at the zoo.
