The King Richard III Visitor Centre explores the discovery of the king’s remains beneath a city car park, while Leicester Cathedral houses his tomb. Visitors can also explore the remains of the Roman baths at Jewry Wall, which offer a glimpse into the city’s early history.
Leicester features cultural attractions such as New Walk Museum and Art Gallery, which features collections covering art, natural history, and ancient Egypt.
