Blackpool: Classic Seaside Fun with a Twist

Blackpool is the UK’s ultimate throwback to traditional seaside fun—with a bit of cheeky charm thrown in. Think fish and chips on the promenade, arcade games, donkey rides, and that famous Blackpool Tower standing tall by the beach. Take a ride on the old-school trams, brave the rollercoasters at the Pleasure Beach, or catch a show with glitzy lights and laughs. And if you're around in autumn, the Illuminations light up the town like a carnival. It’s a little retro, a bit wild, and always a good time. Blackpool doesn’t take itself too seriously—and that’s the best part.
