Beautiful castles, Roman ruins, spectral policemen and Egyptian mummies are just a few of the things you can expect to find when renting a serviced apartment in one of England’s oldest cities.

What better place to start your tour of Leicester than the stunningly beautiful Belvoir Castle. This lovely structure is situated on top of a hill from where you can enjoy the most spectacular views. Take a tour around the castle, browse the lovely works of art and the fantastic exhibits. Here you will find muskets, swords and numerous other items of historical interest. View the lovely rooms and take a walk round the delightful gardens where you can enjoy a few quiet minutes while the kids play in the children’s playground. There is also a nice little shop where you can grab those all important souvenirs and a good restaurant here.

Jewry Wall and the Archaeology Museum are definitely worth a look. Take a tour round these ancient Roman ruins and you will find the excavated 2000 year old Roman baths. The museum, though small, houses a plethora of wonderful items from frescoes and mosaics to flint and pottery. There are some great interactive exhibits for the kids to enjoy and plenty of documentation that will really bring the past to life.

Your aparthotel or self-catered apartment in Leicester is also just a short distance from Guild Hall but dare you take a tour round Leicester’s most haunted building?. Built in the late 1300s this building has seen numerous uses from a meeting place for the local gentry to a library to the police headquarters. Take a wander round this fantastic museum and just hope that you don’t bump into one of the five resident ghosts. Watch out for the ghostly black cat that sits on the stairs and the white lady who opens locked doors and moves heavy furniture round the rooms, not to mention the spectral policeman that patrols the building. If you feel brave enough you can even take a night time ghost tour. Rather you than me.

From your apartment rental or holiday let in Leicester you also have access to New Walk Museum and Art Gallery. Here you can enjoy some wonderful works of art, gaze in awe at the dinosaur exhibits, take a look at the life size model of an Egyptian mummy and then treat yourself to a delicious lunch in the café.
