The City of Southampton on England’s South Coast makes the ideal choice for a short break. There’s the award winning WestQuay Shopping Centre in the heart of the city, offering retail therapy for all tastes. Take a stroll round the historic walls that helped protect the city for hundreds of years or learn about HMS Titanic in the Maritime Museum or catch a Premiership football game. Then after a day of exploring unwind in one of the excellent bars and restaurants, take in a West End show at the Mayflower Theatre or laugh out loud at the Comedy Club.
