But the bustling nature of our vibrant city can often mean we overlook its beauty.
So we asked the people of Leeds to share the prettiest streets in Leeds. They shared streets from each ward in the city.
Here are their top picks - and where you should head down for your walk or drive.
7. New Road Side
Horsforth is one of Leeds’ nicest neighbourhoods and this street, which is home to pub The Three Swords, Greek restaurant The Agora as well as many other independents, has been named one of the prettiest in Leeds. | Google Photo: Google
8. Main Street
Garforth has a rich history and even stronger community. It is also home to one of the prettiest streets in Leeds, as named by locals, including Main Street. | Google Photo: Google
9. Briggate
Another personal favourite of mine, Briggate is not only home to Victoria Gate - and some of the top brands in the country - and the other stunning arcades, when the Christmas lights are up, this street shines like no other. | National World
10. Harrogate Road
Chapel Allerton is full of beautiful spots. But the long stretch of Harrogate Road has to be one of the prettiest streets in the suburb. | Google Photo: Google
11. Ling Lane
This long road in Scarcroft is simply stunning. Home to beautiful spacious houses and much greenery, Ling Lane was once named one of Leeds' richest streets. | Google Photo: google
