Visiting Norwich for the first time?
Taking a walking tour of Norwich is one of the best ways to see the city. Consider Paul Dickson Walking Tours, Cheryl Cade Tours (beer, gin and history) and The Shoebox Experiences – their portfolio include the Hidden Street Tour which is a medieval underground street and the Tipsy Tavern Trail!). Plus Norwich Ghost Walks and Norwich Story Walks.
Museums include Norwich Castle, The Museum of Norwich, Strangers’ Hall, The South East Asia Collection at Country & Eastern (free) and the amazing world-class Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts and Sculpture Park (free).
Want to explore Norfolk?
Staying in Norwich is also a wonderful opportunity to visit other places in Norfolk. So, consider staying a bit longer. The coast is close (30 mins to 1 hour drive) so look at places in North Norfolk like Cromer, Wells-next-the-Sea and the Holkham Estate. And The Broads is even closer where you can stay in hotels like The Norfolk Mead or book a few days out on a boat.
Day visits are also easy from Norwich. Look at Holkham Hall, Pensthorpe, Roarr!, BeWILDerwood, The Bug Parc, Wroxham Miniature Worlds, Cromer Pier, Thrigby Wildlife Park and the Thursford Collection.
