Great attractions in Plymouth come rain or shine

As a vibrant waterfront city Plymouth has a wealth of things on offer to suit all tastes.

From family attractions, historic sites and gardens, entertainment venues and marine interests -whether it rains or shines there is plenty to enjoy throughout your stay.

Plymouth has a rich and significant history - you can explore the cobbled streets of the Barbican and follow the footsteps of the Pilgrim Fathers, take a boat ride over the Tamar to the magnificent Grade I listed Mount Edgcumbe House and Gardens, or find out about the real stories behind our history at Plymouth City Museum and Art Gallery and the Plymouth Mayflower Exhibition.

Plymouth is uniquely placed on the coast and you can enjoy the stunning scenery just minutes from the shopping district, bars and cafes. We also boast the National Marine Aquarium - the safest and friendliest attraction in the south west so come and enjoy our underwater world – just watch out for the sharks!

You will be spoilt for choice for entertainment with the Theatre Royal staging some of the biggest and best shows in the UK as well as cutting edge new theatre and Plymouth Pavilions is the South West’s premiere entertainment complex offering a 4000 standing capacity Arena for live gigs and shows, an ice rink and fun pool.
