Kingston-Upon-Hull, or simply Hull, is a port city in the East Yorkshire county of England. Although most popular for its port where ferries depart for the continent, this surprising city became the City of Culture in 2017, with more on offer than ever.
Hull's presence as a settlement dates back to the 12th century, and the town grew to be a significant wool and fishing industry town. Hull's many free museums detail the city's complex history, including its role in the English Civil War and the bombings it experienced in World War II. Other museums offer art displays as well as transport exhibitions.
The iconic Humber Bridge is just a short 10-minute drive from Hull. This 1.4-mile suspension bridge has enough photo opportunities to rival even some of the world's most famous bridges.
Hull is served by Humber International Airport, with shuttle buses running to the city. Hull Paragon Interchange in the centre of the town allows for easy rail access from all over the country. Coach services, like National Express, also operate from here. These transport options all serve as connections to the P&O Ferries that depart from Hull to Rotterdam.
