Blackpool City guide, including Blackpool Hotels · Costa Del Sol Malaga EU


Mucho More About Here: http://costadelsolmalaga.eu/

Blackpool is one of Britain’s most popular holiday destinations. It is
a town full of roller-coasters, clubs, and even the biggest mirror ball
in the world. Add this to the world-class shows, cosmopolitan
restaurants, vibrant nightlife, an active sports scene and
breathtakingly beautiful scenery on Blackpool’s doorstep you begin to
understand why Blackpool is so popular. If you feel you really need to
get away from it all, have a leisurely stroll through the leafy Stanley
Park, Blackpool’s award-winning horticultural and wildlife treasure.
Spot the cute, inquisitive, squirrels and take in the showpiece Italian
Gardens or hire a boat and float away lazy summer afternoons beside the
swans on Stanley Park’s boating lake.


Places of interest:


A vast range of exciting attractions awaits you in Blackpool. Fill your
days with adrenalin pumping thrills at Pleasure Beach Blackpool, or

visit the menagerie of residents at Blackpool Zoo, come face to face
with sharks at SeaLife Centre or hold audience with the Queen at Louis

    Things to do:

    experiences, shopping and outdoor pursuits. It is only an hour away
    from the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District and close to the

    and Liverpool.

    as you like and go where you want.

    magic. Blackpool’s most electrifying night is when the Lights are
    switched on and the ceremony, a real razzmatazz showcase, has been
    performed by all the biggest names. You can enjoy a grandstand seat
    aboard a cleverly disguised tram – such as a Wild West Train or Space
    Rocket – where you actually become part of the display as you travel
    along the Promenade.


  • Stanley Park is where you will find stone statues star with formal
    borders and frothing fountains in the show piece Italian Gardens. There
    are pathways galore leading to quiet corners, while bridges carry you
    across the lake, home to a variety of hire boats and bobbing birds.
    There is a playground for the children and all the family can enjoy the
    likes of pitch & putt, tennis.

  • Blackpool’s Winter Gardens gilded exuberance makes it one of the

    theatre was not enough, it is crammed with bits and pieces from dream
    palaces of a dozen ages and cultures. The Winter Gardens is partly
    Tudor England, partly Strauss’s Vienna, partly Seville in its golden
    age, partly ancient Rome. This four acre site also houses the Empress
    Ballroom and Opera House

    145 rides and attractions plus spectacular shows, including the world
    renowned Hot Ice at the Arena, the famous Mystique cabaret of magic and

    ages. There is always something going on whether you prefer to do or
