Southampton City Art Gallery

This gallery is one of the finest in the south of England and is a European Award Winner. Its collection spans six centuries from Old Masters to Modern British. The Main Hall celebrates 20th-century British art, with changing displays in the side galleries. Each year a fantastic variety of temporary exhibitions are hosted, ranging from Michelangelo and Da Vinci to contemporary artwork. You can take a lovely cool float through interlocking halls, refresh yourself at Fountains Cafe and then browse through the gift shop for cards and prints.

Tudor House and Garden

This quaint Tudor-style museum contains a minstrel's gallery, creaky floorboards, old kitchens and one of Henry VIII's cannons, among thousands of other artifacts. It also allegedly contains the ghost of Anne Boleyn, who stayed here with Henry when the house was owned by Sir Richard Lyster, Lord Chief Justice of England. There is a replica Tudor-style garden at the back featuring a mulberry tree planted by Huguenots in 1570 that drips with fruit in the summer. On sunny days the garden is full of scented herbs and flowers, making it perfect for some quiet contemplation.

Mayflower Memorial

This memorial opposite Mayflower Park commemorates the departure of the Pilgrim Fathers in the Mayflower and the Speedwell from Southampton in August 1620. It was unveiled in 1913 and features a copper replica of the Mayflower plus plaques commemorating both the pilgrims and the two million US troops who left Southampton during World War II more than 300 years later. If you can officially trace your ancestry back to the pilgrims, you can have a plaque added to the memorial.

Solent Sky - Hall of Aviation

Solent Sky - Hall of Aviation is a must-see for aviation buffs and a great tribute to one of Southampton's heroes, R J Mitchell, the designer of the legendary Spitfire, which was built in Southampton. Exhibits at the museum include a real Sandringham flying boat, a Spitfire and 13 other aircraft, plus masses of photos, models and engines. After taking in the exhibitions, why not stroll across to Ocean Village for a look at the yachts.

Ocean Village

As the name alludes Ocean Village is a waterfront development and one of the UK's biggest marinas. You never know who you might bump into in one of its seafront restaurants or cafes, especially during mega-events like the International Boat Show in September. The real attraction is sitting on the waterfront, looking at a forest of masts with a glass in your hand and recognizing famous yachts and faces.

The British National Motor Museum which has many historic motor vehicles is also worth a tour. Also part of Beaulieu are the historic Beaulieu Abbey and Beaulieu Palace House.

Marwell is one of Britain's leading zoological parks. Founded in 1972, the zoo is home to over hundreds of rare and endangered species.

Such is the expanse of the zoo that one can find trains carrying visitors around the enclosures. Followed by the exhilarating meets and greets with the animals if you find yourself feeling peckish, do head to the on-site restaurant or the slew of picnic sites. The gift shop here is an inviting space too, offering a host of intriguing and informative resources.
