Fascinating attractions that Leicester has to offer include:

  • Leicester Cathedral – a large historical cathedral with a fascinating history dating back some 900 years.
  • National Space Centre – this award winning visitor attraction is home to Britain's biggest planetarium, as well as interactive galleries and a 42 metre high Rocket Tower.
