Lincoln

One of the most beautiful cities in the UK, Lincoln is packed with things to see and do. With historic architecture, good shopping and a wealth of places to eat and drink, Lincoln is the perfect destination for a fun-filled city break.

The Visit Lincoln City & Countryside Guide for Spring and Summer has collated everything going on, across the city and beyond, into a fun and easy-to-read guide. Full of useful tips and hidden gems, this handy guide has been designed to inspire and enhance your next trip to Lincoln.

Whether you prefer to soak up the atmosphere in Lincoln’s vibrant city centre, or spend time exploring the historic cobbled streets, this guide has everything you need to ensure a magical time in our city.

Cobbled streets, Roman ruins, awe-inspiring architecture, Lincoln is laced with beauty and 17 centuries of secrets for you to discover. You’ll find Lincolnshire produce at the heart of our food and drink too, and with so many bars, pubs and restaurants in the city, you will find plenty of evening entertainment in Lincoln.

Small enough to explore with ease, but big enough to incorporate all your favourite brands, Lincoln is the perfect shopping destination. If you prefer a more relaxed pace, Lincoln has an abundance of award-winning parks and gardens, many of which are right in the city centre. Perfect for escaping the hustle and bustle of the high street, these hidden gems are well worth discovering.
