Premier Inn Norwich

Carrow Road has been the home of the Norwich City Football Club since 1935, the stadium has a capacity of over 27,000 and has doubled up as a major venue for gigs by artists like George Michael, Elton John and Status Quo.

Norwich is famous for its stunning Cathedral, medieval architecture and historic city walls. It’s also known for its vibrant arts scene, independent shops and as the first UNESCO City of Literature in England.

The Norwich Lanes are often considered the nicest part of Norwich, full of charming alleyways, boutique shops and cosy cafés. The Cathedral Quarter is also picturesque with cobbled streets and historic buildings.

Norwich is about 20 miles from the coast. The nearest beach is at Great Yarmouth, which is roughly a 40-minute drive away, making it an easy day trip destination.

Weekend breaks in Norwich are perfect for exploring the scenic Norfolk Broads. Venture out of town to this famous network of waterways for some fishing, cycling, walking, bird watching, canoeing and boating. Take a look at our budget-friendly hotels.

Our hotels are close to convenient travel links in Norwich, including Norwich Airport, which has flights to the rest of the UK, as well as Amsterdam and other destinations in Europe.

Norwich Cathedral is a grand, 12th century Norman building in the centre of Norwich with a rich history. Norwich Cathedral is very popular with visitors to the city and sits at the heart of the Cathedral Quarter, which is also where you can find the busy Castle Mall shopping centre.

Set against the backdrop of Norwich’s ancient medieval architecture, the Lanes is the place to go for independent shops, bars and restaurants. For high street brands visit Chapelfield Norwich shopping centre, a converted cathedral with over 100 high street shops including House of Fraser’s flagship store. The Royal Arcade and Norwich Market are also great destinations for keen shoppers.

Ride in Queen Boudicca’s chariot, be amazed by the Twining Teapot Gallery and much more at Norwich Castle Museum and Art Gallery. Norwich Castle itself is set high on the Norwich skyline, where it’s stood since the late 12th century.

In Norwich city centre, you can visit Norwich Cathedral, explore Norwich Castle, shop in the historic Royal Arcade and enjoy the open-air Norwich Market. There are also plenty of restaurants, pubs and galleries to explore.

Yes, Norwich is a very walkable city. Most of its major attractions, shops and cultural sites are within easy walking distance in the city centre.
