Overview
Located on the south coast of England, Portsmouth has long been at the heart of British naval history. It’s home to the Historic Dockyard, where legendary ships like HMS Victory and the Mary Rose are preserved and open to explore. Museums, warships, and harbor tours bring the city’s seafaring past vividly to life, making it a must-visit for history lovers.
But Portsmouth isn’t just about the past—it’s a lively city with a modern edge. The Spinnaker Tower offers sweeping views over the Solent, while Gunwharf Quays provides stylish shopping, dining, and entertainment right on the water. The city also boasts a thriving arts scene, with galleries, theaters, and events happening throughout the year.
With its blend of heritage and contemporary coastal living, Portsmouth is both walkable and welcoming. Whether you’re strolling along the pebble beaches, grabbing fish and chips at the harbor, or diving into naval lore, Portsmouth offers a rich and easygoing taste of England’s south coast.
Step aboard HMS Victory, Admiral Nelson’s flagship, and wander through interactive exhibits that bring Britain’s naval past to life.
Tip: Purchase an all-attraction ticket to access multiple ships and museums in one visit.
Discover King Henry VIII’s warship, raised from the seabed after 437 years, and view thousands of Tudor artifacts.
Tip: Don’t miss the immersive galleries where the ship’s remains are displayed alongside recovered objects.
Soar 170 meters above the harbor for panoramic vistas across the Solent, Isle of Wight, and South Downs.
Tip: Try the glass-floored Sky Walk for a thrilling perspective straight down to the water.
Browse collections of local history, decorative arts, and the celebrated Sherlock Holmes exhibition honoring Arthur Conan Doyle.
Tip: Families will enjoy the interactive displays that make the museum engaging for all ages.
Take a short ride to the modest house where the famous author was born in 1812. The museum is furnished in the style of the period and houses memorabilia.

Walk the decks of Britain’s first iron-hulled warship, launched in 1860, and explore its crew quarters and engine rooms.
