Find hotels 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.

The best time to go to Durham, Queensland, Australia, is during the dry season, which runs from May to October.

During these months, you'll experience clear skies, comfortable temperatures, and low humidity, making it ideal for exploring the region's natural beauty and outdoor activities. Daily temperatures typically range from the low 20s to high 20s Celsius, great for enjoying the beaches and national parks without the intense heat or rain of the wet season.

This period is particularly good for families as the weather allows for uninterrupted enjoyment of Durham's attractions. You can comfortably visit the coastal areas, explore the Durham Hinterland, or take part in wildlife tours. The conditions are consistently pleasant for outdoor adventures.

Couples will also find the dry season ideal for a relaxing and romantic escape. The cooler evenings are great for dining out or enjoying a stroll along the waterfront.
