Blackpool travel guide

Blackpool - seaside fun all year round

Bold, brash and beautiful, Blackpool is Britain's playground by the sea. It's Britain's most popular seaside resort packed with wall to wall family entertainment.

Memory of Blackpool

“We had a donkey ride, went down water slides, saw a magic show and went on massive rides, all in one day!”

Róisín (age 8) Ireland

Culture & heritage

Visitors first flocked to Blackpool in Victorian times and it’s been known as the archetypal English seaside resort ever since. Much has changed but you’ll still find clanking trams, celebrated theatres, historic wooden rollercoasters and a nostalgic shot of seaside fun. Blackpool tower, built in 1894, still commands fantastic views over the resort.

 

Membeli-belah

From high end to the high street, Blackpool offers a wide range of shops. The shining new Hounds Hill Shopping Centre has all your favourite stores under one roof. And don’t leave town without a souvenir stick of rock, the sticks of boiled candy with Blackpool’s name running through them.

Tarikan

Whether you want a night on the town or a day at the beach, Blackpool is jam-packed with things to see and do. Don’t miss Blackpool Tower with its vertigo-inducing glass floor, the fastest rollercoaster in the world at the Pleasure Beach or the rides and arcades along the front.

And if you fancy something a little more sedate, why not have a paddle in the sea?

 

Makanan & minuman

You’ll find a range of cuisine from all over the world in Blackpool but traditional fish ‘n’ chips are still a delicious and popular choice. For something a little more upmarket, try Kwizeen , the restaurant that serves local produce with aplomb. You could also try the Pleasure Beach’s White Tower Restaurant .

Music & nightlife

West End hits, sell-out concerts, ballet and operas, tributes to the stars, circus, illusion and cool, contemporary productions – Blackpool has them all. Add a splash of cabaret, a dash of cutting edge club culture and you’ve got a recipe for fun that suits all comers.
