Located on the banks of the River Humber, this magnificent waterfront city boasts a relaxing atmosphere along with a vibrant mix of culture, shopping and nightlife.
The city's Museum Quarter is a highlight of any visit to the City and is one of the most exciting developments of its kind, linking four of Hull’s eight FREE museums. Situated in the heart of the historic Old Town, visitors can experience 235 million years of history by visiting the interactive Streetlife Museum, the Hull and East Riding Museum, Wilberforce House, and the Arctic Corsair.
The remaining collection of FREE museums in the city includes the Hull Maritime Museum, the Ferens Art Gallery, the Hands on History Museum and the Spurn Lightship, moored in the city’s delightful marina. The Deep, the world’s only submarium is home to over 3,000 fish and 7 species of shark, is also not to be missed.

After nightfall, Hull is alive with a buzz and energy of its own. Soak up the atmosphere of the Old Town in one of the many traditional hostelries or experience Hull’s very own café bar culture; alternatively take in a show at Hull Truck or Hull New Theatre.
Take time to discover Hull and enjoy the invigorating yet relaxing atmosphere that only a waterfront city can offer.
