There’s no other city quite like Leeds - whether it’s our thriving independent businesses or the pretty architecture across the city.
Our pride for our home is also unparalleled. So when we asked YEP readers to name things they loved the most about our city, they delivered.
Here are a few of our readers’ top picks for the things they love the most about our city.
