Leicester is a diverse city, which contributes to excellent food options. It also benefits from less rainfall than many other parts of the UK and is considered a good place to attend university. These aspects make it appealing for students or food enthusiasts seeking variety in cuisine. However, several reviewers caution that the city has become less safe in recent years, citing violent tensions between religious communities. Outside of university life, there is a general lack of entertainment or sightseeing options. Visitors and potential residents should weigh the safety concerns and limited things to do before making plans involving a longer stay.

Lived here many years ago, for university its great, but other then that, not much to do or see. It doesn't rain much here, compared to the rest of the UK.

Leicester is one to avoid. It's a hugely multicultural place which makes for some great food, otherwise not much else worth visiting for. More recently however it has become dangerous with violent religious tensions and rioting between local Muslim and Hindu communities which you don't want to get caught up in.

Values shown are estimated visits by traveling remote workers based on the total amount of trips logged by Nomads.com members. Visits to a place are only counted once per year per user, even if they visit more in that year. Visits are also normalized by overall trips added per month on the site, so if site usage goes up or down it does not affect trends. Not all digital nomads are on Nomads.com, and not all Nomads.com members log their trips. So the data is only indicative.
