A two-day romp around Portsmouth's seafront
There's lots to enjoy on weekend breaks in Portsmouth, from the traditional seaside charm of Southsea seafront to a bracing trip across the harbour on the Gosport ferry. However, our top picks focus on the many attractions of the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard and the surrounding neighbourhood - a unique reminder of Britain's story as a sea-going nation.
-
HMS Victory
This magnificent 104-gun warship was already over 40 years old when it took part in the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. Every inch of Lord Nelson's flagship exudes a sense of history, and you can still see the place where Britain's most famous naval hero fell after being fatally wounded.
-
HMS Warrior
When it was introduced in 1860, this Victorian battleship was the latest in sea-going might, with its iron hull, 40 powerful guns and steam-driven engines. As well as entertaining tours, there are opportunities to dine on board too.
-
Mary Rose Museum
Sunk by the French in 1545, then raised from the seabed in the 1980s, this 600-tonne vessel wasn't the largest ship in Henry VIII's fleet, but it was his favourite. Three galleries let you view the ship from different angles, and you can also see treasures rescued from the wreck, including guns, coins and everyday Tudor items.
-
Spinnaker Tower
Order a snack at The Clouds cafe, stroll through the Sky Garden, look down between your feet at panoramic views of the south coast on the transparent Sky Walk viewing deck. An eye-catching landmark standing 558 feet tall, the tower also offers virtual reality activities that add an extra dimension to an already heady experience.
-
Gunwharf Quays
This sparkling shopping centre boasts 60 designer outlets, as well as restaurants, cafes, bars, a nightclub, casino, and cinema complex, all in a bright, breezy waterfront setting.
