When deciding where to stay in Norwich, the first question you should ask yourself is exactly what you’re looking to experience when you visit this historic city. There are literally hundreds of options to choose from, but the list can be narrowed down if you decide to stay in the heart of the city, near the airport, or on the outskirts with views of the countryside.
Most of the authentic bed and breakfast style accommodations are located on the outskirts of the city. If you decide to choose one of these establishments, you will be giving yourself the chance to stay in authentic country houses that are up to 500 years old. The food is often as authentic as it is in these country establishments, and the opportunity to experience the beautiful scenery of the Norfolk Broads adds to the experience.
However, if you want to stay closer to the heart of the city, the hotels are divided into two different genres, the old and the new. The older style hotels in Norwich city center date back 300 to 1,000 years, giving them that medieval look that has made the city so popular with tourists. Newer hotels offer modern style and architecture, complete with cutting-edge services and trendy restaurants and bars, often on-site. These hotels in the heart of the city are preferred by buyers; especially looking to cash in on some of the amazing shopping that can be done at Norwich’s famous open-air market.
