Nestled on a river just inland from the North Sea, this city has culture galore, important national landmarks and a thriving nightlife scene.

Hull, or Kingston Upon Hull, shares a name with the river that flows through it. Discover the city’s medieval history, visit one of its many educational museums, or enjoy the parks and green spaces that let you escape the hustle and bustle of city life.

Due to its easy access to the water and navigable river, Hull developed as a shipping center. In addition to trade, whaling also became a key source of income in the city’s early days. Visit Hull today and much of what you will see actually dates back to just after World War II. The vast majority of the city was destroyed in bombings and had to be rebuilt.

There’s something in Hull for everyone, no matter your interests. For an informative day out, visit the Arctic Corsair, a large ship turned into a museum that shows the area’s deep-sea fishing industry. Stop by the Streetlife Museum of Transport to see artifacts that tell the story of 200 years of transportation history. There’s also the Ferens Art Gallery for a relaxing few hours contemplating art.

For a bit of green space, head to Pearson Park, where you can sit by the lake or visit the birds and reptiles inside the conservatory. Take a boat out on the lake in East Park when the weather is nice. If you find yourself in the city center, you will be close to the beautiful grassy area known as Queens Gardens, where you can sit by the fountain.

You’ll find that Hull is also a hub for shopping and nightlife. St. Stephen’s Shopping Center has various retail outlets and a movie theater showing the latest releases. Afterward, head to Newland Avenue or Princes Avenue to explore the bars and cafés.

Hull is well connected to the rest of the country via the railways. Multiple trains from London, York and Sheffield run each day. Once in the city, get around on foot or by using public buses.
