Your travel to Blackpool
Fresher, brighter and more fun than all the rest of Britain could offer, we welcome you to the top-class holiday destination of the island, the city of Blackpool. After the capital London, the tower city of Blackpool is the most popular tourist destination, attracting visitors from all over the world.
Blackpool is situated in the north-west of England, boasting 6 miles of adorable beaches and some of the world's most enjoyable sites and attractions. The city's career as an entertainment capital started in the 19th Century, when it became the privileged recreation spot for the working class of Lancashire and Yorkshire. Most of the attractions were built at that time. A tour of the marvelous city usually starts from the highest point: the 518-foot tower which imitates the Parisian Eiffel Tower. This stunning structure dominating the coastal city hosts a wide variety of entertainment opportunities, spreading over all of its floors. The tower also hosts a record: the biggest ballroom in the world, the splendor and dimensions of which are truly overwhelming.
Transportation in Blackpool is a charming affair. The old-fashioned trams will take you to your next destination, the Pleasure Beach. Roller coasters, halls of horror and plenty of amusement set on 42 acres of coastline! Start your trip through time in the world of the dinosaurs, continuing onwards through the magical world of Alice in Wonderland and further. The fairy-tale continues along the Blackpool Golden Mile, where you will find the Sea Life Center, with fascinating performances demonstrating the miracles of the underwater world, including a vast collection of poisonous snakes. If that's not astonishment enough, press on to Coral Island and take a ride on the Terror Train for the ultimate adrenaline-packed adventure. And if needing some relaxation after that, don't forget that even relaxation is more fun in Blackpool. You will believe it after visiting the Sandcastle, where all the water-based amusements you can imagine await you and your family.
Next to the Blackpool Promenade, Stanley Park has some more leisure stops in store for impassionate tourists. Enjoy the vast gardens, where squirrels will accompany you to the large golf course and the world-famous sport center. And in no time, you will be in the midst of the Marton Mere nature reserve, just in front of one of the most interesting sites in the city: the Model Village and Garden. Streets, houses, everyday life and even the charming Blackpool trams in miniature! Set on 12 miles, the marvelous mini-town will host you for a short trip around all its secret corners.
