Home of the Royal Naval Dockyards, the Mary Rose, and Nelson's flagship, HMS Victory - which is the oldest still commissioned naval ship in the world. My suggestion is to take a boat trip around the harbour. We did, and as we passed under the bow of HMS Arkroyal, you suddenly realise just how big an aircraft carrier is! Of course, Arkroyal is now decommissioned, and the new carrier. HMS Queen Elizabeth is even bigger
Portsmouth Historic Dockyard is free to walk around, but you must pay to board any of the exhibits.
Portsmouth is also where you catch ferries to several places in France, Santander in Spain, and the Isle of Wight!
