Portsmouth's blockbuster draw sees you gazing at the evocative hulk of Henry VIII's flagship, the Mary Rose, and jumping aboard Nelson's Battle of Trafalgar warship HMS Victory.

Taking in more than one ship or attraction makes the all-attraction Explorer ticket the best value. You may have to pre-book a time slot in which to visit – check well in advance.
