Things to do in Portsmouth
Busting with maritime history, there's plenty of things to do in Portsmouth's historic centre. Visit the fantastic Royal Navy Museum and enjoy harbour views from the Spinnaker Tower - peek down through the glass floor too. If you're a history buff, don't miss a visit to the legendary Mary Rose Museum, dedicated to the famous 16th-century ship raised from the seabed in 1982 and now on display in a splendid purpose-built building. If the great British weather means that indoor entertainment is more appropriate for the day, then take the family to the Sea Life Centre to learn a little about life below the waves. Or head to Gunwharf Quays for shopping, cinemas and restaurants.
