Itineraries

Planning a holiday or day out can be a stressful experience. It’s bad enough having to make sure that you packed all the essentials and that you get everyone and everything, including the kitchen sink, out of the house on time! Add to that the expectation that when you arrive here in Bournemouth, you will know exactly what to do and where to go to make the most of your stay. That’s why we’ve put together a selection of suggested itineraries to get you started.

We love Bournemouth, and we’ve spent years finding and testing the best experiences so that we can pass on our expertise. Take a look at our itineraries for hot tips on where to go and what to see. You can follow the itineraries in their entirety or pick and choose the best bits, tailoring them to the individual needs of your family or group.

If you live nearby or are staying in the area but not in Bournemouth itself, you’ll find a 24-hour itinerary for your day trip to the resort. We show you how to capture the quintessential British seaside holiday feel in one day with a jam-packed itinerary of mini adventures that’ll leave you wanting more.

If you’re here for longer and want to enjoy some of our bigger attractions at a leisurely pace, then you can take a look at our 48-hour version, which includes ideas on where to stay, as well as what to eat and drink while you’re here.

We’ve got an enviable microclimate here in Bournemouth, meaning that we get some of the best weather in the country, and when the sun has got his hat on, there are loads of ways to enjoy our outdoor treasures, including our long sandy beaches, of course. But, the good ol’ British weather can be unpredictable, so if you’re caught in a shower or a few wet and windy days, you might be looking for suggestions of how to have fun at some of our more sheltered attractions. We’ve put together a rainy day itinerary so that you don’t spend hours traipsing around in the damp; you can go straight to our favourite indoor places.

If you are looking for some group-friendly options or further inspiration, take a look at the Itinerary pages on the group travel section of the website.

Happy planning!
