Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Durham?
The best areas to stay in Durham are the City Centre for its convenience and access to attractions, or the university area for a quieter, more relaxed stay.

The City Centre is the main hub for visitors, centred around Durham Cathedral and Durham Castle, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Most of the shops, restaurants, and riverside walks are easily accessible from here. The area around Market Place and Saddler Street is particularly bustling, offering a variety of dining options and local boutiques. It's very walkable and provides direct access to the River Wear for scenic strolls.

For couples, the City Centre is an excellent choice. You'll be within easy reach of Durham Cathedral and Castle, and can enjoy romantic riverside walks or dine at a range of restaurants. Many hotels in this area offer beautiful views of the historic landmarks or the river.

Family travellers might prefer the university area, particularly around South Road. This area is generally quieter than the bustling City Centre, with more green spaces like the Botanic Garden, which is great for children.
