Norwich is a beautiful city with a lot of history within its streets.
It is mainly a medieval city, with a lot of well conserved monuments that I recommend you to visit. There is a magnificent Norman castle from XII century which holds an interesting museum and a modern shopping centre!
There are also two cathedrals. The biggest one is magnificent and has beautiful cloisters to walk around and the catholic one is not as big but also wonderful.
You can visit almost 30 different churches although it used to be as much as 60!
The Guildhall, which was the old city hall,is all covered in flint . This material can be found in several buildings around the city centre.
The new City Hall ,built in the 30's, doesn't spoil the view of this magnificent square where you can also find the market place that the Normans moved from the original place where the Saxons placed it.From the tower you can have the best views of Norwich.
As you walk by you will find beautiful streets and alleys with pieces of history that you'll love to remember.
