About Bradford

Bradford is a mid-sized city in West Yorkshire, located slightly west of Leeds. Perhaps one of Bradford's best offerings is its natural beauty and fresh air. Visit Bradford to get mesmerized by its culture, history, and heritage while enjoying the countryside.

Start your cultural and historical tour at the Cartwright Hall Art Gallery, where there are four permanent galleries and seasonal contemporary exhibitions. Then, to discover why Bradford is designated a UNESCO City of Film, visit the Impressions Gallery next to City Park. You'll find modern photography works by famous artists. The Bradford Cathedral, Lister Park, and Shipley Glen are other beloved attractions in the city.

Families love Bradford because of its many parks and family-friendly entertainment zones. Kids will surely love Funzy, an inflatable theme park located at the Bradford Leisure Exchange. The Kirkgate Centre is home to established retail stores when you're seeking some retail therapy. However, for high street brands, your destination should be Forster Square Shopping Park.

Leeds Bradford Airport is very close, making the city very easy to reach by air. Northern Rail and TransPennine Express offer rail connections, and FlixBus and Megabus operate bus routes in the area.
