Once an important medieval trading centre, Norwich remains a popular shopping destination. The Chapelfield centre is the newest addition, whereas a historic shop sells the city’s most famous export: Colman’s Mustard. Castle Mall is underground, in a hill topped with a keep, part of the 12th-century castle founded by William the Conqueror.
Dating to the same era is the large cobbled square housing a 6-day market. It was said that Norwich had a church for every week, and while that is no longer true, over 30 medieval churches still exist. The cathedral was built using stone from Normandy and boasts England’s 2nd largest cloisters and 2nd tallest spire.
Colourful medieval façades line Elm Hill and the Guildhall is another fine example of the period. Half-timbered Dragon Hall was a trading hall, while St Andrew’s and Blackfriars Halls constitute England’s most intact friary. The 14th-century Cow Tower sits by the River Wensum upstream from Pulls Ferry, the train station and Norwich City FC.
Reportedly, Norwich once had a pub for every day, and today’s traditional inns and modern bars are certainly popular with the student population. Other entertainment options include the Theatre Royal and Playhouse.
Norwich accommodation on Booking.com includes historic hotels with pools, city centre guest houses and riverside apartments, all near to Norwich Airport.

Lots of options for park and ride, and only £3, which saved trying to find your way around the city by car. Easy to get around the city centre on foot, although more sign posts and maps would be good
Really good shopping with lots of independent stores and a big market with lots of street food options.
I didn't find any tourist information but I finally tracked down a leaflet stand in one of the shopping centres.
Loved the history at the castle and the cathedral.
I'd highly recommend lunch at the Giggling Squid near the Cathedral but there are plenty of options for food for all budget levels.

It's not easy to park but there are a couple of convenient park and rides just outside the city. It has a vibrant market with varied and interesting little shops set out with a variety of items you didn't know you needed! There's a church converted into a market place in which you can browse for items of old with vintage clothes and beautifully crafted jewellery. There are unlimited places to eat from delicious fish and chips (huge queues) and offbeat decorated small cafes.

Norwich, a pleasant surprise, the town and city was better then I/we expected, the old town reminded me of York, lots of independent shops, lots to browse, places to eat, would be a shoppers heaven. There is also the newer part of the city, with arcades and most of the usual shops. My main delight was Jarrolds Department store, (not many left) well worth a visit if your looking for something special! Then there was the market, an-other nice surprise! I have also never encountered so many Churches, including the lovely Norwich Cathedral! Also there are lots of beautiful buildings and some amazing architecture! The castle was closed due to repairs but looks very imposing on the hill. I/we have only seen a small portion of Norwich, but are looking to return later in the year and will be staying a few extra days! I'd say, if you like a nice friendly City with lots of culture & shopping, try Norwich! :-)

This was our first trip to Norwich. We absolutely loved it.
This was our first trip to Norwich. We absolutely loved it. The Maids Head hotel where we stayed was a real find situated as it is right next to the wonderful cathedral in Tombland.
Norwich itself is a vibrant city which seemlessly marries ancient and modern in a way that really works. There is so much to see and do. If you have £100,000 to spend on a diamond ring you can find one but if you just want an authentic gelato you can find that too about 50mtrs away. The market area is legendary and has a massive street food section where you can sample anything from pie and peas to Asian cuisine. We loved the whole place and will be back again.

Olive Cafe and Haggle restaurant were two stand out options for food. Try the bubble and squeak at Olive. Olive's breakfast option was enourmous.
We had four starters and two main courses at Haggle. Every one was superb. Staff very friendly and efficient.
Maids Head was a great location for our stay. Adjacent to the Cathedral and any amount of the historical walks outlined for free on the Norwich Society website.

Beautiful cathedral. So-so outdoor market.
Beautiful cathedral. So-so outdoor market. People are very very friendly and helpful. It's a nice city to just wander everywhere, and easy to find your bearings.
Lots of information and a wonderful monument to Edith Cavell, the brave nurse executed by the Germans.
Many varied eateries to match your hunger level or kind of dining experience you want, from street takeaways to tea cafes to fine dining.
I enjoyed my stay in Norwich; no pressure, and I had a very fine studio apartment called Wellington Apartments, which is directly behind Norwich Cathedral.
Finding a hotel so close to Norwich city centre with ample parking was ideal!
The staff that greeted me when checking in and out were so polite, helpful, and friendly.
The room was great and had everything I needed and more (tea making facilities, microwave, fridge). The shower was modern with great water temperature and pressure and the bed very comfortable.
I was impressed the tv had access to Netflix etc.
Staff were excellent, friendly and efficient. Hotel was easy to navigate, good location for driving around. Plenty of space to park. Norwich has lots of cheap car parks so driving into centre for food was easy. Sports centra had a huge well equipped gym. Pool and spa facilities were all working as they should and were as expected. Breakfast was good selection and good quality.
Location is great, a short walk from the city centre. Rooms were basic but comfortable and similar to the larger budget chains. However, for the price we paid for the room I won’t be staying anywhere else when visiting Norwich. Great value for money!
The lady on reception booked us in and then showed us to our room. Most welcome attention to detail!
An excellent city centre hotel with old world charm but with a modern twist. The room was very well equipped, comfortable & warm. The breakfast buffet was extensive & the restaurant prices for dinner reasonable. Staff were all helpful & I would definitely stay here again
The hotel is a couple of nicely decorated Georgian buildings, the dining/breakfast area is a modern conservatory. It is located a short walk from Norwich city centre, and has its own car park. Friendly and helpful staff.
