Where to Stay in Nottingham
- The city centre and Old Market Square: shopping streets, the tram and restaurants; the most practical area for a first visit.
- The Lace Market and Hockley: historic warehouse buildings, independent cafés, bars and nightlife.
- Around the station: handy if you arrive by train, a short walk from the centre.
- West Bridgford and the suburbs: guest houses and a calmer stay, close to the stadiums.
