Sightseeing
Built on a large artificial mound, Norwich Castle consists of a splendid Norman keep constructed around 1095 by William II. It's now home to a superb museum and art gallery. Set out as a rotunda surrounded by various galleries containing extensive archaeological sections, the castle's interior also houses natural history dioramas, collections of medieval weapons, glassware, and ceramics.
The painting collection includes English and Dutch masters of the 17th and 18th centuries, as well as examples from the famous Norwich School of painting. Guided tours along with workshops for adults and kids are just some of the other fun things to do here for visitors.
A café and a picnic room are located on-site, along with a gift shop. Also located within the castle is the Royal Norfolk Regimental Museum, with its excellent collections of uniforms, medals, and paintings.
A few minutes' walk from here is another must-see, the city's spacious Market Place, site of the Norwich Market, one of the most notable markets in the county. Nearby is the City Hall, Central Library, and the 15th-century Guildhall.

Tombland Alley is a wonderful place to begin exploring the rest of old Norwich. From here, two gates - St. Ethelbert's (1272) and Erpingham (1420) - lead into the idyllic tranquility of the Cathedral Close, with its wealth of historic buildings, including the medieval deanery.
It's also close to Elm Hill, a lovely medieval cobbled street near the River Wensum lined with tiny old houses, many of them now attractive shops, restaurants, and cafés.
