Attraction 1: Mary Rose Museum

Would you be interested in seeing and exploring a ship that was sunk in 1545? If this sounds like fun – which you have to admit that it is pretty awesome – you should visit the Mary Rose Museum. Mary Rose was a ship that used to go on long journeys across oceans, but it sank on 19 July 1545. Luckily for us, the wreck was discovered and lifted from the bottom of the sea in 1982. It is a museum now as many objects and artefacts from a different era were found in the wreck.

Attraction 2: National Museum of the Royal Navy

Portsmouth has a rich naval history thanks to its location and its historic dockyard. You can still see many grand ships that were properly functioning and were going on voyages to undiscovered areas or were protecting the island from foreign attacks parked there. The easiest way to learn all about their history and significance is by visiting the National Museum of the Royal Navy, which exhibits findings that are more than 300 years old.

Attraction 3: Spinnaker Tower

The most famous attraction of the city is the Spinnaker Tower. It is an observation tower which was built as a symbol of the revival of the city and its harbour. In one of the three decks you get to feel the thrill of walking on glass tiles and see the ocean and the ships below you.

Attraction 4: D-Day Story

Another popular tourist attraction is the D-Day Museum. In the museum there are exhibits and videos showing and educating people about the invasion of the Allied powers in Normandy on June 6, 1944. This invasion led to the liberation of Northern France and after a while World War II ended.
