And if taking a bus to Leicester isn't enough, there are plenty more exciting transport options for when you get here! You can explore the historic Grand Union Canal by barge, or experience the romance of a bygone era on the steam trains of the Great Central Railway - or for something out of the ordinary, pay a visit to Cyclemagic. This unique museum is on the site of an old cycle factory, and visitors can admire all the weird and wonderful machines from the past 200 hundred years - and even have a ride on a penny farthing!
Elsewhere in Leicester, you can delve further back in history and see pivotal moments in British history brought to life at the Battle of Bosworth Visitor Centre, or at the nearby Rockingham Castle. Or take the bus to Leicester and go and see the Jewry Wall Museum, which houses some of the most significant Roman remains in the country.
The whole world in one city
And with all the different people who have made Leicester their home over the centuries, is it any wonder that the city boasts a cultural diversity second to none? Take a bus to Leicester in late autumn, and marvel at the largest Diwali celebrations outside India - or come and dance at the city's Caribbean Carnival in August, Leicester's answer to London's Notting Hill Carnival. The city also hosts the largest comedy festival in the UK, and is home to several notable live music venues, including Firebug and The Shed.
Buses to Leicester mean you'll also get to discover the city's panoply of theatres, including the state-of-the-art Curve, the centrepiece of Leicester's cultural quarter, on Rutland Street, and the Peepul Centre in Belgrave, which houses a gym and a dance studio, as well as an auditorium.
There have never been more reasons to take the bus to Leicester. So whether you're a stargazer, an amateur historian, a music fan or a trainspotter, jump on the Leicester bus, and you'll find exactly what you're looking for.
