Your Memorable Visit To Chester

Chester is a Beautiful, Historical Roman Garden City in Cheshire, North West of England and bordering with Wales.


A unique and vibrant city to visit at any time of the year

Chester has been ranked the most beautiful city in the world, according to science.

Using an ancient mathematical formula known as the 'Golden Ratio', or 'The Divine Proportion', Chester is the world's most beautiful city ahead of Venice, Rome or Barcelona !


The city is a fantastic shopping and dining destination with high street names you would expect, as well as over 40% independent shops, boutiques and eateries. 


Watch the Town Crier conduct his daily performance at the Cross and take a leisurely stroll down by the river. Visit the Roman amphitheatre, the famed city walls and the Eastgate Clock.  Admire the institution that is Chester Races throughout the summer, visit the many lively venues to eat and drink or discover the quiet ones.


Head across the river suspension bridge to visit the meadows for a long walk, cross the Old Dee bridge and cross into Handbridge, fantastic kids park, local shops or on the other side of town head into Hoole for more fantastic independent shops and vibrant bars.
