Introduction

Delve into the historic and vibrant city of Southampton in the South of England! This three day itinerary gets you the best of city life and tranquil escapes. Explore medieval walls, awe at the massive cruise ships, and enjoy the vibrant city life - all in three days.

Day 1 - Embracing the Historic Charm

We'll kickstart our journey with a walk along the medieval city walls. Constructed in the 10th century, it's a fantastic way to take a walk back in time. Be sure to stop by Bargate, the most famous part of the wall. Next, we are heading towards the SeaCity Museum, where you can explore Southampton's Titanic heritage and maritime history. Does the word Titanic ring a bell? Yes, you're spot on. It's indeed the same ill-fated ship which famously departed from Southampton. Later, we’ll indulge in some retail therapy at Westquay Shopping Centre - a modern mall with over 100 stores. Oh, and did I mention the nummy food options available? Now that's the cherry on top!

Day 2 - Museums and Green Spaces

On Day 2, let's start with a visit to the Solent Sky Museum. If you're someone who gets thrilled at the mere mention of planes and aviation (Or even if you're not), you're in for a treat. Next up in our journey, we're heading towards Southampton Common, a large open space where you can relax and unwind amidst nature. A visit to the adjacent Hawthorns Urban Wildlife Centre is well worth to watch the birds and enjoy the beautiful wildlife garden. In the evening, it's time to admire the scenic beauty of Mayflower Park and watch those massive cruise ships up close. Fun fact - did you know Southampton is the cruise capital of Europe?

Day 3 - University campus and Arts

On our final day, let's explore the academic side of Southampton with a casual stroll at University of Southampton’s Highfield Campus. It’s not just about the books, the green campus is also home to a stunning art gallery. Next, our itinerary transports us to the Southampton City Art Gallery. With a collection of over 5,000 works, it's a paradise for art lovers. To wrap up our memorable trip, let's head to Oxford Street in the evening to satiate our taste buds at some of the best eateries in town. Now, isn’t that a perfect ending to our journey?
