Lincoln isn’t just about uni life, it’s packed with landmarks, fun activities, and even a few freebies! Whether you’re just visiting, moving here, or already living your best Lincoln life, check out our top picks to explore the city.
Cathedral & Castle Adventures
If you’re new to Lincoln, start with the classics: Lincoln Cathedral and Lincoln Castle. The cathedral is stunning inside and out. Fancy a rooftop view? Book a tour and take in the city from above.
Right across the cobblestone street, is Lincoln Castle, with events like the Lincoln Food Festival, outdoor movie nights, concerts, and even live sports. Whether you’re into history or just want great Insta-worthy pics, this area’s a must.
Foodie Finds
One of the best ways to settle into a new city is by trying its food. Head down to Lincoln’s High Street to check out the Cornhill Market, packed with street food goodness. Or, visit Stack, a new food hall where you can grab everything from burgers to pizza and enjoy live entertainment. Bonus: they’ve got photo booths too. Perfect for a chilled night out with friends!
Chill by the Brayford
The Brayford Waterfront is one of the prettiest (and most vibey) spots in Lincoln. It used to be a busy port, but now it’s home to bars, restaurants, and plenty of spots to sit by the water. On sunny days, it’s a great place to relax with mates, and if you stick around for sunset, you’ll get a view that’s totally worth it.
Shop ‘Til You Drop
If you’re into shopping, Lincoln’s got you covered. The High Street has all your usual shops, but if you want something a bit more unique, head up Steep Hill. Sure, the name gives it away, it’s steep, but the independent stores and cosy tea rooms along the way make it worth the climb.
Arts, Culture & All That Good Stuff
For art and culture fans, Lincoln’s got loads to check out, like The Lincoln Museum, Usher Art Gallery, and more. Whether it’s modern art or cool historical exhibits, there’s something for everyone.
