Activities and attractions near boutique hotels in Southampton

England's southern port city of Southampton boats many unique things for visitors to see and do. A great place to start is by going for a walk along the medieval walls, taking in some amazing views. The walls date back to the 14th century and are among the best preserved in Britain. From here, we recommend heading to the Old Town district. Its entrance is marked by the venerable Bargate. This listed medieval gatehouse was built in 1180. Other noteworthy attractions in this part of the city include the Tudor House and Garden, the Bugle House, the Solent Sky Museum, and the God's House Tower. The Mayflower Theatre is a historic venue that was built in 1928. It is one of Southampton's top live entertainment hubs and regularly features classical concerts, rock events, stage shows and pop groups. The Southampton City Art Gallery is home to a fascinating collection of works dating from the 1700s to the present. It is housed at the same site as the SeaCity Museum, where you can explore the history of the Titanic. Other must-visit spots around Southampton that we recommend adding to your itinerary include Netley Abbey, the Sir Harold Hillier Gardens, Southampton Common, and the Medieval Merchant's House.
