Harrogate's cosmopolitan charm and character owes much to its heritage as a popular Victorian spa town.  Modern Harrogate is a major conference destination with a lively mixture of fabulous shopping, café culture, fine restaurants and plenty of green open spaces.

Harrogate is a great place just to take it easy for a bit.  Watch the world go by in Montpellier Quarter, stroll around the town which is decorated with beautiful floral displays, relax on ‘The Stray’, 200 acres of green lawns surrounding the town or stroll through the attractively landscaped Valley Gardens and up through the lush, green pine woods to the Royal Horticultural Society Garden Harlow Carr. Soak up some culture at the Mercer Art Gallery, Harrogate Theatre and discover Harrogate’s history at the Royal Pump Room Museum, once the main watering hole for visitors coming to Harrogate to take ‘The Cure’. For a very different experience spend a couple of hours in the Turkish Baths and Health Spa to detox in the steam and hot rooms. Smart streets and mews are filled with a wide choice of places to eat and drink. And as a shoppers paradise there is a tempting choice of shops from boutiques to antiques.
