Leeds named one of the best places to live in the world
The city appears alongside 22 other world-beating destinations – including Antarctica, the unspoilt Caribbean island of Dominica and the Mekong Delta, Vietnam – on the Rough Guide's best places to visit next year hotlist. The only other British destinations on the list are the Scottish Highlands and Pembrokeshire, Wales.
The guide, known for its edgy eclecticism, says Leeds' inclusion was a 'no-brainer' describing the city as perfect for 'gourmands, gallery-lovers and theatre fans', The Express reports.Leeds has Opera North, the only nationally recognised UK opera company outside London; Leeds Grand Theatre and Northern Ballet plus UK’s longest-running music hall, the City Varieties Music Hall, and Hyde Park Picture House, the world’s last remaining gaslit cinema.
The Rough Guide adds: "If that art and culture leaves you feeling hungry, fear not, Leeds isn’t known as the ‘Foodie Capital of the North’ for nothing. Kirkgate Market – well worth visiting for a wander in its own right – now boasts a refurbished food hall that’ll have you struggling to pick your lunch."4. Cordoba, Argentina8. Korčula, Croatia13.
