🇬🇧 Leeds | One-Day Itinerary: No Backtracking!

Looking for a perfect day trip in England? Leeds is your answer! 🚂 Here's my efficient route from Manchester, hitting all the highlights without retracing steps: 📍 Leeds Corn Exchange (LS1 7BR) 🕒 *Mon-Sat 10:00-18:00 | Sun 10:30-16:30* ✨ A Victorian gem with a stunning dome! Now a quirky indie market—3 floors of crafts, vintage finds, and even Terracotta Warriors hiding in shops. 📍 Kirkgate Market (LS2 7JL) 🕒 *10:30-17:30* 🍜 Foodie heaven! Must-try: Maxi’s Rotisserie (friends swear by it!). Their braised beef noodles & triple-roast-meat rice rival Hong Kong cafes! Pro tip: Ask locals for directions—it’s tucked away! 📍 Leeds Art Gallery (LS1 3AA) 🕒 *Mon-Sat 10:00-17:00 | Sun 11:00-15:00* 🎨 Free entry! Ground floor: British oil paintings | 1st floor: Rotating exhibitions. Don’t miss the library staircase—feels like a Gothic castle! 📍 Leeds City Museum (LS2 8BH) 🕒 *Tue-Fri 10:00-17:00 | Sat-Sun 11:00-17:00* ⚱️ From Egyptian mummies to a "Life & Death" exhibit (with Chinese ritual artifacts!). Small but fascinating! 📍 University of Leeds (LS2 9JT) 🍂 Autumn campus vibes = Classic + modern architecture blend. For Leslie Cheung fans, the memorial bench is near Clothworkers' Building. 📍 Trinity Leeds (LS1 5AT) 🕒 *Mon-Sat 9:00-20:00 | Sun 11:00-17:00* 🛍️ Huge semi-outdoor mall (great for last-minute shopping!). 5 mins from the train station. #UKTravel #Leeds #DayTrip #BritishCulture #StudyInTheUK 🎡
