Going on holiday in Bradford

Bradford is a fine destination year-round, with plenty of attractions open to visit whatever the season. Nevertheless, the peak season is summer when the weather is at its best and the city hosts outdoor events.

As for winter, it can get cold and dark early, but Christmas lights, markets and fairs ensure that there's always something going on.

Bradford has much to offer different travellers, ages and group sizes. Families will have much to explore, especially with the National Science & Media Museum and neighbouring Leeds attractions.

Nightlife remains excellent, although many will choose to travel over to Leeds for bigger events.

How to get to Bradford

Bradford is serviced by major train routes through two city stations. It also shares an airport with its neighbour Leeds.

Once you’ve arrived in the city, you’ll find the historic centre compact and easy to navigate, with excellent public transport connections out to Leeds, Saltaire and Wakefield. If you’re wanting to explore more of the region’s prized countryside, consider taking a car to travel at your own pace.

The opinion of the Voyage Privé travel expert on Bradford

Rougher around the edges than its neighbouring Leeds, Bradford contains a charming city centre that was once an industrial powerhouse. With Haworth and Saltaire nestled close to the city, it's an excellent base to explore West Yorkshire. What’s more, it’s a welcoming and exciting city with an intriguing restaurant scene that’s heavy on South Asian inspiration. Come for the impressive media museum and stay for the history, culture and art.

Bradford – gateway to brooding landscapes and UNESCO sites

Bradford is close to the UNESCO world heritage site of Saltaire, a captivating model village-come-art gallery (Salts Mill) which is a must-visit during your stay. But the city itself also achieved UNESCO status as a City of Film, with regular festivals and showcases. Enjoy this rich culture and the landscapes of brooding moors, fells and valleys which surround the city in areas like Ilkley, Keighley and the Dales.
