Lincoln Guildhall recognised among world’s best attractions

Lincoln Guildhall has been ranked in the top 10% of visitor attractions globally after receiving a Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Award for 2025.

The accolade reflects a year’s worth of visitor reviews and ratings, placing the Guildhall at the top of Tripadvisor’s “Things to Do” list for Lincoln. The recognition comes shortly after the site achieved reaccreditation from Visit England’s Visitor Attraction Quality Scheme, where it scored 92% following an unannounced inspection in June.

The Guildhall, situated above the Stonebow, is both a working civic building and a heritage site. It remains the official home of the Mayor of Lincoln and continues to host Full Council meetings. Visitors can tour the historic chambers and view centuries-old artefacts, including Richard II’s Royal Sword, a 17th-century Mayor’s Mace, the Mayor’s posy ring, and a collection of royal charters dating back to Henry II.

The award adds to previous national recognition, including Visit England’s “Best Told Story” and “Welcome” accolades. It highlights the Guildhall’s role as a key heritage destination, combining civic history with unique collections.
