Plan my visit to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard

A multi-site naval heritage visit across Portsmouth Historic Dockyard and Gosport museums

Portsmouth Historic Dockyard is not a single-room museum visit: it is a waterside naval heritage day built around historic ships, museums, conservation work and cross-harbour movement. The main Portsmouth site brings together HMS Victory, HMS Warrior, HMS M.33, the Mary Rose and National Museum of the Royal Navy galleries around the main visitor arrival area.

The wider ticketed experience also reaches across to Gosport for Royal Navy Museums: Submarines and Royal Navy Museums: Explosion. The strongest visit treats cross-harbour logistics as part of the plan, choosing whether to focus on the main dockyard first or build a longer day around the Submarine Museum, Explosion Museum and nearby food stops.
