Attractions

This city is located on the water and much of its history has a connection to fishermen and smugglers. Before the city became well known, it was considered a health resort town and it wasn’t until it was featured in The Spas of England that other means of industry came, such as the railway coming to build. It was not until 1870 that it officially gained town status. 

Even today, people still come here to bask in the sun and enjoy all of the ocean related things the city has such as beaches and popular nightlife locations. It is possible to rent kayaks, surfboards, and paddleboards to help keep your vacation a healthy and fit one. Tennis, golf and bowling are also available if you prefer to do something on land.

For all your shopping needs, whether gifts for yourself or your friends and family at home, you can make your way over to the Town Centre. You can buy anything from dresses to jewelry or art and designer labels. If shopping is not for you or if you are done, you can take a stroll through the historic gardens in the same area. With a car hire from Bournemouth, you don't have to worry about carrying all of your finds on the public transportation, simply put it in the trunk.

Museums

Art lovers do not need to go further than Bournemouth because there are three different museums here to look at pieces of art. Take the opportunity to look at tall three locations, Gallery 65, Westover Gallery and Russell-Cotes Art Gallery & Museum and experience all the art the town has to offer.

Natural scientists will enjoy the Bournemouth Natural Science Society & Museum. Guests can enjoy photographs, exhibits, and everything else related to all branches of science and natural history. Look at different kinds of birds and animals, then turn around and find yourself facing a mummy in the Egyptology exhibit. This is a kid friendly museum, as they have a special program geared towards the younger guests, Young Exploders.

Excursions

With a HAPPYCAR reservation, you are able to experience more of the British countryside. Southampton is a town connected to the sea and sky and it is waiting for your visit. Experience the town that took the tragedy of the Titanic and turned it into a triumph with their current success as a major international cruise hub. Learn about the connection to the air with the creation of the Spitfire plane used during World War II in Southampton. Explore the city only 33 miles away by renting a car through HAPPYCAR.

Bristol awaits your visit and with only a 77-mile drive, it is possible through a car hire Bournemouth. Experience the water through cruises and pirate walks. Drive across the famous Clifton Suspension Bridge with your rental and enjoy the sights. While it is connected to water, you can enjoy much more than that on the land too. When walking or driving through the streets, you might even run into some original work done in Bansky’s early years. Connect to other famous people who live in Bristol such as JK Rowling and the creator of Wallace and Gromit.
