Places of Interest in Plymouth

The city has its own selection of cultural hotspots, so whether you’ve got a day off from uni and nothing to do, or your family are visiting for the weekend, there are plenty of ways to occupy your time.

On a quaintly British day with smatterings of drizzle, why not take a trip to the National Marine Aquarium for only £10.50 per ticket?! A bargain price for a day spent submerged underwater, with fascinating sea life from Plymouth’s own shores to the Atlantic Ocean. If you’re gasping to find out more about Plymouth’s expansive history, pay a visit to Plymouth City Museum and Art Gallery just 10 minutes’ walk away. Or combine a daytrip with a tipple and enjoy the free tasters at the classic Black Friars Gin Distillery – we bet your mum’ll be a fan of this one!

On a summer's day, you can head on to the beach and unleash your inner surfer! The University of Plymouth Surf Club is the 'Best Surf Club in Europe' so be sure to check it out and sign up.
