Lincoln

Historic Lincoln

Breathe in the history, digest the heritage.

Possessing magnificent architectural heritage, centred on its world famous Cathedral and Castle, Lincoln is a vivacious City – mixing 2000 years of heritage with excellent shopping facilities and a lively arts and events programme.

The historic Cathedral Quarter is close to some of the major attractions and offers the visitor a unique shopping experience. Many fine specialist shops including boutiques, antique, craft, book and gift shops line the cobbled streets.

Vibrant Lincoln

The Brayford Waterfront quarter is home to some of the newest and more diverse places to eat and drink. You will find both formal and informal venues here, depending on your occasion. Venues vary from a traditional British chained pub to more unique restaurants. All dining venues offer good quality food at reasonable prices.

In the evening, the waterfront area has a very cosmopolitan atmosphere, with a laid back attitude. Some of the bars offer outside seating in the summer which is a great way to end your day or start your night out!

Cultural Quarter

Lincoln's Cultural Quarter is home to some of the city's newest developments such as The Collection, a fantastic new museum encompassing archaeological finds with fine, decorative and contemporary visual arts. Lincoln's premier arts venue, Lincoln Drill Hall is a friendly and exciting place to try new cultural experiences and boasts an amazing mix of events and activities.
