All about Southampton
When to visit
Southampton is busiest in summer, when high temperatures peak at 73°F (23°C), and its waterfront setting really comes into its own. Bank holiday weekends are particularly busy, and festivals including Common People Southampton in late May and the Southampton International Boat Show in September draw flocks of visitors in the shoulder season. Don’t overlook cooler times of year, though: Southampton’s annual Bonfire Night fireworks and Christmas markets and ice rinks make for festive sightseeing.
Getting around
The Southampton Central railway station connects Southampton to destinations across the UK, as does the Southampton Coach Station. Local bus services offer an affordable way to traverse the region, though Southampton is also easily explored on foot, by bike, or by taxi. Ferry services also connect the city to the Isle of Wight and other nearby destinations.
Traveler tips
If you have a car, and a few days to explore Southampton, don’t miss the opportunity to plan a day trip to the Isle of Wight. Less than an hour’s ferry trip from the mainland, the island promises dramatic cliffs like the Needles, pretty beaches like Shanklin, unspoiled towns like Newport, and lots of opportunities for outdoorsy pursuits. Take a self-directed tour or choose a guided tour to see the highlights with ease.
