The city clings to a crescent shaped bay, spreading inland from a bustling port to the surrounding hills. The centre is small, walkable and riddled with distractions, from the historical, fantastical and legendary to lots of very real shopping, eating and entertainment options.

Look up as well as around, and enjoy the Medieval, Georgian and ultra-modern architecture, and of course the ever-changing sky. Within half an hour of the city mountain walks, stately homes and gardens, castles, sandy beaches and fishing ports provide the perfect foil to the bustle of the metropolis.
