Top Attractions in Lincoln
💡 Take the 'Lincoln Lift' from the bottom of the hill (50p fare) if legs are tired. The top has a bench with a cracking view over the city — best at sunset.
💡 The museum's cafe does a good budget lunch — the soup and bread is under a fiver. Check the website for free family workshops on weekends.
💡 Start at the 'Tower Hotel' end and walk south along the water — you'll see the old warehouses converted into bars. Best on a clear weekday evening when it's quiet.
💡 The free audio guide in the prison is worth it — you hear actual prisoner accounts. Arrive after 3pm for cheaper entry if you want the walls.
💡 Visit during a weekday morning for quieter moments. The cafe in the cloisters is decent but pricey; skip it and head to the nearby 'Bailgate Deli' for a cheap flat white.
