City advice

Getting around

Nottingham isn't very big so it's easy to get around on foot

If you want to go further afield, there are great train connections, the tram network spans the city and the neighbourhoods and there are popular e-scooters to try.
Book before you go

Most restaurants get booked up in advance

If you like the sound of somewhere, book it a few weeks before you come. If you want to visit Alchemilla or Sat Bains restaurants, they'll need to be booked months ahead.
