OVERVIEW

Norwich is a historic city in eastern England, with a medieval street pattern, castle and cathedral concentrated near the centre. Residential neighbourhoods and university districts extend beyond the old core. Across the wider area, river remains closely connected with markets, rather than forming an isolated visitor zone, with neighbourhoods providing an additional point of connection.

Markets, food and independent shops give the city a lively everyday character. River walks and museums add depth without requiring long journeys. Castle is encountered differently from museums, making it worthwhile to leave time for both parts of the destination. River provides the most immediate experience, while museums offers a quieter and more local perspective.
