Thank you for calling the Tourist Line.

There are many different way of getting around the city and we’d like to suggest some you may not have thought of.

How about city trip by boat?

There four main stoping points-from west to east:

Stop A, Green Banks, stop B, City Bridge, stop C, Roman Landing and stop D Newtown.

You can find the main booking office in stop A.

The first boat leaves at 8 a. m. and the last one at 6. 30 p. m.

There are also many of attractions you can visit along the river.

At stop A, if you have time, you can visit the fine 16th century palace here build for the king with its beautiful formal gardens.

It’s very near the booking office.

Now you can enjoy every corner of this superb residence.

Stop B why don’t you visit the Tower Restaurant with its wide range of refreshments?

This is a place where you can sit and enjoy the wonderful views over the old commercial and banking centre of the city.

Stop C, It’s the area where, in the first century AD, invading soldiers crossed the river; This is much shallower than it is now.

That’s why this area is called Roman Landing.

There is an interactive Museum to visit here with a large shop which has a good range of local history books.

At the furthest point of the trip, stop D, the most exciting place to visit is the new entertainment complex with seven-screen cinema, bowling alley and video games arcade.
