Leicester is a city with a long and varied past engrained in the fabric of its buildings and the character of its businesses and people, but it is also a city which looks to the future. More than anything it is a city of diversity, offering citizens and visitors alike the benefits of a cosmopolitan environment. This multi-cultural city and its cultural mix provide exciting opportunities to sample a huge variety of cuisines. The city excels in authentic Indian restaurants but also offers truly cosmopolitan dining, sometimes with live music. Whether it is for shopping, food, music and the arts, Leicester offers something for everyone. The Leicestershire Museum and Art Gallery on New Walk has the biggest dinosaur in Europe. Visitors can also find the biggest covered market in Europe which has stood here for seven hundred years. Leicester has long been graced with an abundance of parkland. Just beyond the city boundary lie almost one thousand acres of wild moorland and ancient woods at Bradgate and Swithland. You can see deer roam freely and peacocks strut in the ruins of Lady Jane Grey's house.
