General presentation
Blackpool and the Fylde Coast
Large popular seaside resort, with beach, piers, tower, family attractions and sea promenade.
The discovery of Blackpool and Fylde Coast revolves around Blackpool Tower, North Pier and Pleasure Beach. The stay thus alternates between the coast, urban life and heritage, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 1 to 3 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: very touristic atmosphere and changing coastal weather. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. The main sites are generally easy to access.

A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Tour and panorama
Blackpool Tower
Blackpool Tower summarizes the spectacular spirit of the resort, between recognizable silhouette, entertainment rooms and panorama on the sea promenade. She talks to both view lovers and those looking for the popular Blackpool, made of leisure, lights, theatre and an assumed taste for staging.
Discarded
North Pier
North Pier extends Blackpool over the sea, with boards, kiosks, wind-facing seats and an open perspective on the coast. The walk is simple, but it takes strength when the city lights up or the tide turns the beaches into a large mirror.
Amusement Park
Blackpool Pleasure Beach
Blackpool Pleasure Beach belongs to the UK's most open register of boat rides, screams, queues, snacks and roller coasters close to the promenade. The place is especially suitable for travellers who take on an intense carnival day, with a more popular than contemplative atmosphere.
