Coach Breaks to Portsmouth

Visit this iconic island city with a salute to Britain's Navy!

Portsmouth is the Great Waterfront City – packed with world-class attractions, fantastic things to do and a year-round programme of events. Escape to the UK's only island city, to explore miles of coastline and centuries of history. Portsmouth's history is strongly linked with the Royal Navy and houses some superb military and maritime museums including Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, the D-Day Story and Overlord Embroidery. During the summer, the Portsmouth Harbour Waterbus links the four major attractions of Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, Explosion Museum of Naval Firepower, Royal Navy Submarine Museum and Gunwharf Quays. A short walk away from the Dockyard, Gunwharf Quays is a buzzy hotspot and premier waterfront destination, open night and day, with over 95 designer shopping outlets, art gallery, cinema, casino, nightclubs and restaurants with al fresco dining. Experience the view from Spinnaker Tower – the stunning 170-metre icon of the South Coast, and Britain’s best viewing tower. The cobbled streets of Old Portsmouth used to be the haunt of vagabonds, thieves, seafarers and press gangs but life is quieter there now, with traditional pubs, tea rooms and fish markets offering plenty more to explore.
