We’ve put together a rough guide of what to make sure you do to make the most out of the city.
Have you ticked them all off?
5. Southsea Beach
We've got a beach, so use it! All you need for a traditional day out is here - ice cream, a paddle in the sea, a pier.... (we don't talk about sand though). Photo: Habibur Rahman
6. Go up the Spinnaker Tower
An absolute must-do if you've never been up - but don't bother on a cloudy day Photo: Marcin Jedrysiak
7. Old Portsmouth pubs
The Spice Island and Still and West pubs are equally as enticing on a warm day when you can sit outside on The Point as they are when it is cold and rainy Photo: Marcin Jedrysiak
8. Gunwharf Quays
For better or worse - given what it implies about high streets and the city centre - Gunwharf is now Portsmouth's pre-eminent shopping area, and attracts people from miles outside Portsmouth to its outlet brands Photo: Chris Moorhouse
