About Portsmouth
Portsmouth - Britain's Great Naval City
Portsmouth is the home of the Royal Navy and Britain's most significant naval heritage city. The Portsmouth Historic Dockyard is one of the UK's most popular heritage attractions, housing HMS Victory (Nelson's flagship at Trafalgar), HMS Warrior (the world's first iron-hulled warship), and the Mary Rose Museum (displaying Henry VIII's Tudor flagship raised from the seabed). The iconic Spinnaker Tower rises 170 metres above the harbour, offering stunning views across the Solent to the Isle of Wight. Gunwharf Quays provides designer outlet shopping in a stunning waterfront setting. Southsea offers traditional seaside charm with its Victorian pier, shingle beach, and the D-Day Story museum commemorating the 1944 invasion. Portsmouth International Port connects to France, Spain, and the Channel Islands. The University of Portsmouth brings academic life to the city, while Fratton Park is home to passionate Portsmouth FC supporters. From Charles Dickens' birthplace to the historic Round Tower, Portsmouth celebrates centuries of maritime history while offering modern attractions, excellent shopping, and a vibrant waterfront scene.
