Portsmouth, located on the South coast of England, is home to several important historical dockyards and thus a storied maritime heritage. Though many people travel here to experience the nautical atmosphere, Portsmouth also offers many attractions and experiences to suit every taste.

Both ships are accompanied by museums where visitors can learn more about these significant historical warships.

To see the whole city all at once, climb Spinnaker Tower to see the city from 170 metres high. Finally, if you're feeling brave, walk across the glass Sky Walk to see the waves crash on the shore beneath your feet.
