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?
9. Go to Fratton Park
There are few who can match Pompey fans' passion. It's dubbed Fortress Fratton with good reason, and everyone should experience Pompey at home at least once in their life Photo: Joe Pepler
10. Rent an e-scooter
It's one of the best ways to explore the seafront - hire a scooter go from end to end. But please, sensible riding... it's fair to say they are not universally popular with Portsmouth residents Photo: Stuart Martin
11. The Gosport Ferry
OK, in some ways it's not exotic - but Portsdown Hill and the Spinnaker aside, the ferry gives the best view of Portsmouth Photo: Habibur Rahman
12. Victoria Park
It's only small compared to many city green spaces but Victoria Park in Portsmouth is an oasis of calm Photo: Robert Pragnell
