Leeds and Bradford are English cities only 24 km apart. Leeds is famous for the football club of the same name, but it is also a well-known centre of university life. Students and locals like to spend time in the green parks there or walk through the streets with buildings built in the Victorian style. Bradford is again a city of film. Literally. Due to the large number of film locations and the holding of film festivals, it received the permanent title of UNESCO City of Film. Fly to see what has already been filmed in it!

The city of Bradford is very similar and there are also many buildings built in the Victorian style. Even the industrial area of ​​Saltaire was built in this style, which today is registered in the UNESCO list. A beautiful town hall with a tall bell tower also dominates the city centre. The former residence of the nobility - Cartwright Hall - which today serves as an art museum, is also worth a visit. And among the most visited museums in England is the National Science and Media Museum in Bradford, which is mainly dedicated to film, photography, and television.
