A vibrant riverside city with an inescapable maritime heritage.
Everywhere you look you will see the legacy of our long association with the sea. Contrast the stunning outline of The Deep – the world’s only submarium – to the Hull Maritime Museum, with its distinctive domes, visible across the city centre skyline. See the maritime traditions come alive at the annual Sea Fever sea shanty festival, set against the atmospheric backdrop of the Hull Marina and the cosmopolitan waterfront.
Experience the wealth of maritime treasures by joining a maritime heritage guided walk or for those who prefer a more leisurely approach follow the Seven Seas Fish Trail, a self-guided walk following pavement sculptures around the Old Town. For over 700 years pioneering has been in Hull’s blood. These days, the pioneering spirit is to be found right across Hull as it transforms itself from one of Britain’s best kept secrets into an innovative destination.
