Bradford is ideal for a city break, with its magnificent museums, galleries, theatres, restaurants and bars.

The National Media Museum is one of Bradford’s most popular attractions and is a great way to spend an afternoon. Why not learn more about Bradford’s history at the Bradford Industrial Museum and Bradford Cathedral, or admire the many works of art at Cartwright Hall Art Gallery. 

Nearby is the village of Saltaire, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to one of the largest collections of art by David Hockney, housed in the 1853 Gallery. 

Spend the evening at the Alhambra Theatre which has a varied programme of West End productions, opera and ballet and dine in one of Bradford’s famous Asian restaurants, where you’ll find Asian cuisine at its best.
