Sunderland, County Durham -travel information and accommodation

Set on the north-east coast of England, Sunderland is a city by the sea with plenty to keep its visitors amused. Firstly there’s the wild coastline and its beaches. Then there’s the lure of a stroll along the banks of the River Wear, with its busy marina packed with an array of impressive yachts. This lively area is also home to plenty of bars, restaurants and shops, so you’ll never be at a loose end.

By far the best way to get about and see all the sights is to travel on the Metro. That way you can easily discover all the art and culture on offer in the city’s various museums and art galleries. The museums are the perfect place to learn about the area’s strong history in shipbuilding, and its role as a vital port from which to export coal, salt and glass. There’s also the Famous Empire Theatre, the place to be for catching a show, including anything from ballet to Billy Connolly.

Sunderland is arguably best known though for is great love of football. Why not check out the match dates to see if there’s a game on during your stay. Alternatively, you could join a tour of the famous Stadium of Light instead.
