The Jurys Inn Quick Guide To Southampton
Nestled in the sun of the English south coast, Southampton offers a great break away. Not much of the Old Town survived the bombing during the Second World War, but what has, such as the impressive medieval town gates known as the Bargate, offers a fascinating glimpse into the city’s history. From Philip of Spain to William the Conqueror, Henry V to William Shakespeare, Southampton has had its share of colourful guests. These days it’s even more welcoming to guests, and goes out of its way to provide a friendly welcome and memorable entertainment.
City highlights
Southampton City Gallery Sailing and diving Walking Tour of the Old Town Water Tours
Three major art galleries, two theatres (including the Mayflower) and a range of excellent venues all cater to audiences looking for quality entertainment, and the inventiveness of the local arts scene and undergraduate life are just some of the reasons that Southampton has been named as one of the UK’s best places to live for young people between 18 and 30.
Seafaring and ship building have long been associated with the area. Titanic set off on its fateful voyage from here in 1912. Nowadays it’s an important point for cruise liners, and the city’s many excellent bars, restaurants and venues provide lots of local colour for visitors.
