Here are a few reasons why you should explore more your own city... 1. You’ll get new eyes- it will push you to take roads and corners you’ve never taken before. Getting lost in streets you’ve never been to and seeing new and beautiful things you never realised were there make you see your city in a new light. 2. You’ll learn about your city's history and heritage- by exploring your own city's history, you will get a better understanding of its heritage and be able to bring this with you while travelling abroad and share it with the people you meet. 3. Meet new people- you have to engage in a conversation with a complete stranger somewhere while exploring your own city. You’ll be surprised by how interesting some conversations can be and how they can have a big impact on you! 4. You’ll feel refreshed- exploring your own city can be very refreshing since you will see new things and get a completely different perspective about the place you live. You just need to remind yourself that you can find beautiful things right where you are. #edinburgh #scotland #glasgow #visitscotland #uk #edinburghlife #Edinburghcity #edinburghscotland #RentinEdinburgh #EdinburghStays #travelphotography #VisitEdinburgh #EdinburghHotspots #Airbnb #ExploreEdinburgh #ExploreScotland #PropertyInvestment #ShortLetManagment #PropertiesinEdinburgh #TravelTips #ShortStayinEdinburgh #Touristinmyowncity

Calling all dandies, dreamers and creative crackpots – Leeds is for you When the Guardian’s Grace Dent wrote a review of Leeds restaurant Galleria last weekend, her impression of the city made me smile: “People who don’t know Leeds or what it’s like – let’s, for the sake of argument, call them southerners – often imagine it to be a rough-and-ready place full of brash Yorkshire pragmatists who have absolutely no time for pretentiousness. Well, they’re wrong. Leeds has always been chock-full of some of Britain’s greatest dandies, dreamers and creative crackpots. I blame the university, the Industrial Revolution and something in the drinking water from the Royd Moor Reservoir.” That’s a city I’d want to visit. I wouldn’t say Leeds has been coy to shout out about its glories but Baroness Judith Blake, when she was Leader of the Council and promoting #LEEDS2023, Year of Culture, was onto something when she said the city didn’t just hide its light under a bushel, it hid its bushel! We’ve won the tender to work with VisitLeeds to help the city become known as a world-class, modern, and historic European destination. Acknowledging the city’s brilliant cultural infrastructure, VisitLeeds wants to ensure the city is on everyone’s future “must visit” list, both across the UK and internationally. That’s a brief we relish. As a visitor destination, Leeds is brimming with untapped potential. When places around the world are struggling with the effects of ‘over-tourism’, Leeds is well-placed to rise up the discerning traveller’s wishlist. Being located slap bang in the middle of the UK gives the city many advantages from a tourism perspective: it’s the ideal gateway for travelling not just across Yorkshire and the North of England but across the whole country. When The Sunday Times this year named Leeds as the best place to live in the North of England, I doubt local dandies, dreamers and creative crackpots were surprised. #Leeds #Yorkshire #VisitEngland #Tourism #Travel #VisitBritain #CulturalTourism Photo: Octovision Media
