The historic area, where the city’s origins began, offers a lot of variety considering its relatively small size.
Visit Portsmouth sums up what you can expect from a trip to Old Portsmouth on its website.
It reads: “In Old Portsmouth, the cobbled streets are lined with historic homes, traditional pubs and quaint tea rooms. The historic Portsmouth Harbour area is a world away from its old incarnation as a hive of vice and debauchery - now it's an ideal place to experience the quiet life.
“Explore the Camber Dock and ramparts before indulging in some home-cooked food at a pub overlooking the Solent. Sip wine alfresco in the summer or enjoy a coffee by a cosy fire in the colder months - it's an ideal spot for couples, dog owners or those after a break from the city hubbub.”
