With a thriving international airport and the busiest train station outside central London, there really is no excuse not to visit Leeds.

Over 7,000 people pass through Leeds City Train Station during the morning rush hour everyday, and as well as acting as West Yorkshire’s transport hub, Leeds has speedy connections to all of the UK’s biggest destinations. GNER also offers a service that can get you from London Kings Cross in less than two hours.

If travelling by air is more your thing then the Leeds Bradford International Airport is one of the UK's fastest growing regional airports. LBA not only provides speedy domestic links but is also the city’s international gateway to the world, with daily flights to all major European destinations and a wide network of onward connections worldwide. Alternatively, Manchester International Airport is connected by a half hourly train service to Leeds.
