Discover Hull
A historic Humber port with free museums, a lively marina district and a nightly overnight ferry to the Netherlands
Kingston upon Hull grew around the Humber as a trading and fishing port, and its maritime history still shapes the city. Recent regeneration has added galleries, restaurants and public spaces without losing the character of the Old Town.
The Deep is Hull’s best-known modern attraction, occupying a striking building where the River Hull meets the Humber. Nearby, the Museum Quarter and historic streets make the city particularly strong for visitors who enjoy maritime and social history.
Humber Street and the Fruit Market have become a lively waterside district of independent businesses, food and cultural venues beside Hull Marina. The area connects easily with the Old Town on foot.
Hull is also a useful base for East Yorkshire, including Beverley, the Yorkshire Wolds and the dramatic coast around Flamborough Head and Spurn.
P&O Ferries operates the Hull–Rotterdam route as an overnight North Sea crossing. Cabins are central to the experience, allowing passengers to sleep onboard and arrive in the Netherlands the following morning.
