Packed with things to do and fast becoming Britain's favourite waterfront destination, Portsmouth has more and more to offer every year. Enjoy an irresistible mix of history and heritage, specialist shopping, lively arts, great restaurants and bars and a programme of year round events.

Steeped in the traditions of the Royal Navy, Portsmouth also offers a feast of a thousand years of naval history. Visit the Historic Dockyard to see Nelson's flagship, HMS Victory, the Mary Rose, pride of Henry VIII's navy, and HMS Warrior, Britain's first iron-clad steamship. Go to the viewing deck of the Spinnaker Tower for a spectacular view of the harbour.
