Portsmouth Guide

What is there to do in Portsmouth?

Portsmouth is one of England’s hidden gems; a historic harbour, beautiful pebble beaches and a host of summer festivals have skyrocketed the city into major prominence with tourists. The entire city is flooded with tantalising attractions, yet it would be worthwhile just spending a few days exploring the coastline. Lee-on-the-Solent is home to the best beaches, especially in the summer when a number of festivals and concerts take place, creating a vibrant, youthful energy. Whilst Lee-on-the-Solent brings life with festivals, Southsea is a buzzing hub of activity all year round – the beaches and parks are swarmed with locals and tourists enjoying the weather. Much like many coastal cities, the beaches are often the main drawing point, yet there is plenty to see and do around Portsmouth. The Spinnaker Tower is perhaps Portsmouth’s unofficial emblem; decorated in blue, white and gold – the colours of the football team – the tower affords incredible views of the historic harbour and the rugged coastline. An added bonus in the quest for culture is the new Kings Theatre in Southsea, or the Mary Rose Museum if you’re looking for an insight into the history of England’s south coast.

How do you get around Portsmouth?

Uber has recently been introduced to Portsmouth, so it is fairly cheap to travel around the city in a quick and safe manner. Alternatively, you can get the ferry from the train station to Gosport, a popular area, or there is also a bus service in operation.
