A city surrounded by the sea, Portsmouth’s history is strongly linked with the Royal Navy. The city houses some superb military and maritime museums including Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, the D-Day Museum and Overlord Embroidery,and the Royal Marines Museum. And for some of the best views of Portsmouth, don’t miss the Royal Armouries Fort Nelson on Portsdown Hill near Fareham.
The Historic Dockyard is the jewel in Portsmouth’s crown, home to the world famous historic ships The Mary Rose, HMS Victory and HMS Warrior 1860. Together with interactive Action Stations, The Royal Naval Museum and Harbour Tours, there truly is something for all ages.
A short walk away, Gunwharf Quays is a buzzy hotspot and premier waterfront destination, open night and day, with over 85 designer shopping outlets, art gallery, cinema, casino, nightclubs and restaurants with al fresco dining.
You can find Portsmouth’s newest attraction here, the 170m Spinnaker Tower, which has stunning views over the Solent. On a clear day you can see up to 23 miles over to the Isle of Wight, Chichester and the South Downs. Walk on air on the glass floor if you dare!
The Victorian seafront at Southsea has a funfair and swimming complex, and the large open green spaces are perfect for lazy picnics, gentle strolls and kite flying. The underground passages at Southsea Castle are well worth exploring, or discover local and tropical marine life at the Blue Reef Aquarium, a great day out whatever the weather.
