Southampton
Southampton is one of Britain's most historic ports. It is also a vibrant, modern city offering a warm welcome to visitors from all over the world
An important centre for trade for 2,000 years, Southampton found fame in the 20th century as the country's main destination for the great cruise liners - a tradition that continues today with a waterfront that is shaped by world famous vessels
With Europe's biggest on-water boat show, garden and music festivals - as well as excellent bars, restaurants, clubs and superb venues for music, theatre, film and recreation - there is always plenty to do.
The best in entertainment, shopping, arts, sport and leisure can be found in this 24-hour city.
And away from the water, a wealth of beautifully kept parks and open spaces make it one of the greenest destinations in the area
