City in United Kingdom

Leeds

3 things to see

A major northern city where the covered Kirkgate Market, one of Europe’s largest, feeds budget travelers on market stall lunches for a few pounds. The Royal Armouries Museum is free, the Victorian shopping arcades cost nothing to wander, and frequent trains reach York and the Dales in under an hour, with Manchester just across the Pennines. As a working city rather than a tourist one, it keeps beds and pints cheaper than the headline destinations.
