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.

Types of Accommodation

Guest houses and B&Bs make up a large share of Nottingham’s accommodation alongside hotels, and aparthotels are common for families and longer stays. Central hotels fill quickly during graduations and big events.

When to Go

Nottingham can be visited year-round, with longer days from May to September. Goose Fair in October and the Christmas market in December are among the city’s busiest times.

Getting There

The nearest airport is East Midlands, with Birmingham another option. For a private transfer to your hotel, see East Midlands Airport to Nottingham transfer. Direct trains run from London, and the tram and buses serve the city.

Things to Do in Nottingham

Nottingham Castle, the City of Caves, Wollaton Hall and its park, the historic streets of the Lace Market and Sherwood Forest to the north are favourite stops. Birmingham and Manchester are easy to visit by train.

Who Is It For?

Nottingham suits history and legend lovers, families visiting students, couples on a short city break and travellers exploring the Midlands. To be near nightlife choose Hockley; for calm, West Bridgford.

Practical Tips

• The centre is compact and walkable; use the tram rather than driving.
• Book City of Caves tours ahead to avoid queues.
• Book early around graduations and big events.
• Public transport to Sherwood Forest is limited, so consider a car or tour.
• Many of the city’s attractions are within a short walk of Old Market Square.
• Nottingham Castle’s grounds offer a good view over the city, and Wollaton Hall’s deer park makes an easy half-day trip.
