With over 2,000 years of history, Leicester has been a stage
for some remarkable historical dramas. Uncover the stories of the city’s
ancient Roman quarter and Old Town, walk medieval streets to see the final
resting place of King Richard III, discover the secrets of great museums or eat
out in some remarkable buildings to savour a true taste of the local heritage.
Leicester can claim to be the UK’s Space city and an
out of this world experience awaits at the multi-award-winning National Space
Centre. Visitors can explore six galleries crammed full of rockets, satellites
and meteorites, take in a show at the UK’s largest domed planetarium, and
ascend the iconic rocket tower.
