A beautiful city on the south coast, Southampton is known for its culture, history, and ports. Since the 1800s, the city has had a popular liner port, with perhaps the most famous vessel of all, The Titanic, embarking from Southampton on its first and final voyage. Southampton boasts the country's only geothermal power station and has become the city with the lowest CO2 per capita in England. You'll have lots to do if you're visiting Southampton, including spending time perusing the city's many shops, enjoying independent restaurants and walking through Southampton Common.
