The best area to stay in Plymouth for most travellers is the Barbican and Hoe area, offering a blend of history, waterfront views, and convenient access to attractions.The Barbican is Plymouth's historic heart, characterised by its narrow, cobbled streets and 16th-century buildings. It's centred around Sutton Harbour, a picturesque working port, and is home to the Mayflower Steps, where the Pilgrim Fathers departed for the New World. You'll find a wide selection of independent shops, art galleries, and restaurants along Southside Street and Quay Road. The area is very walkable, with many attractions within a short stroll.Couples often find the Barbican particularly appealing. It offers a romantic setting with its historic charm, waterfront dining options, and evening strolls along the harbour. Access to boat trips from Sutton Harbour is also a popular activity.Adjacent to the Barbican is the Hoe, an expansive green space with commanding views over Plymouth Sound. It's famous for its lighthouse, Smeaton's Tower, and the Tinside Lido, an art deco outdoor swimming pool. The Hoe offers a more open and relaxed atmosphere compared to the bustling Barbican.For families, staying near the Hoe can be an excellent choice. The open parkland provides plenty of space for children to run around, and the proximity to the waterfront means easy access to the beach and marine activities.
