Norwich has a population of about 125,000.At over 800 years old, it was one of the main cities of medieval England, and retains a significant legacy of medieval buildings. In the 1960s, it became a university city with the foundation of the University of East Anglia (UEA), which has helped the flourishing of local culture.

Travel to Norwich

By road

Norwich is directly served by two major trunk roads. The A11 travels in only a south-westerly direction, through Thetford and then near to Cambridge, and then via a more southerly direction onto London via the M11. The other trunk road is the A47, and this is primarily orientated in an east-west direction. To the east and the A47 ends at the once significant maritime town, and now primarily holiday destination of Great Yarmouth. To the west and the A47 links the Norfolk market towns of East Dereham and Swaffham, and then onto King's Lynn (where it links with the A10 and A17). The A47 continues westward, leaving Norfolk, onto Peterborough, where it links nearby with the A1 (commonly called the 'Great North Road'), and terminates at the Roman city of Leicester, linking with a number of significant roads including the M1, M69, A6, A46 and A50.

Other major trunk roads to the wider Norwich area include the A14 (via the A11 to Cambridge (England) | Cambridge), A12, A140 (via Ipswich (England) | Ipswich) from London and the South East of England and the ferry port of Harwich (England) | Harwich.

Parking

Parking in the city includes a wide variety of surface and multi-storey vehicle parks, along with on-street parking - all fee-based, some operated by the local authority (Norwich City Council), others operated by private companies.

There is also a very good 'Park and Ride' (P&R) service National Park and Ride Directory]. There are six P&R vehicle parks served by six colour-coded lines numbered 601-606. P&R buses run every 6–7 minutes throughout the day but stop around 7-8pm. Tickets are purchased from machines at the vehicle park and are valid for a group of up to 5 people. The prices regularly change but there's generally a 25% discount for tickets purchased after 12pm. You'll be issued two tickets - one is to display inside the windscreen of your vehicle and the other is to show the bus driver when boarding/alighting the bus. Note that the yellow line and vehicle park is adjacent to the airport.

How to get around in Norwich

GPS 52.6326|1.2967 width=600|align=}}

Norwich downtown is fairly compact and can be explored easily on foot. It is also a cycle-friendly city, with most major streets having separate bike lanes and also several cycle tracks along the two rivers. Whilst on paper there appears a significant network of cycle lanes, in training many of these are just where somebody with a pot of white paint has marked a narrow strip in the gutter for bicycles or painted an arrow suggesting cyclists share a pavement with pedestrians which just wide enough for mother and baby buggy. Don't let that discourage you from cycling around, just be aware of the limitations of the mapped "cycle network".

City buses are mostly operated by FirstGroup and are handy for reaching the train station and riverside entertainment neighborhood and the university and the airport. Fares change regularly but expect to pay around £2.30 for a single-trip adult ticket. Return tickets and day pass tickets are also available - buy tickets from the driver (change available) or from the ticket machines located at the bus stops.

Metered taxis are fairly affordable (by British standards) and are of the purpose-built 'black cab' variety as in London, whilst telephone-booked minicabs are cheaper for longer trips.

Muslim Friendly Shopping in Norwich

Colours of the market - - 689266 - Norwich market, in the background the 15th century Guildhall ElmHill - Elm Hill

Norwich punches above its weight in retail terms and is regarded as one of Britain's major regional shopping centres. The Castle Mall shopping mall has recently been joined by a major new city-centre development and the Chapelfield mall, on the site of a former Chocolates factory. It has a big "Cigar entwined in a wire frame" sculpture on top to serve as a visible landmark.

Other than the shopping centres there is a big John Lewis, and/marks-spencer/ Marks and Spencer, Debenhams and local department store Jarrolds. This particular store is unusual in that it is still locally owned and gives 25% of its profits to the John Jarrold Trust - a charity that grant aids worthy causes. London Street is nearby and was England's first pedestrianised street. The market is the site of the principal shopping area and is occupied by well-known chain stores; additionally, a wide range of independent specialist stores is concentrated around the Upper Goat Lane/Pottergate/St. Benedict's area of the downtown. This area is known as the Norwich Lanes.

One street not to miss is Elm Hill. It's a medieval cobbled street near Norwich Gothic Church that backs onto the River Wensum and is renowned for its antiques and tea shops.

That leaves us with the market! Apparently the largest permanent outdoor market in Europe, and one of the finest city markets in the UK. It has recently been refurbished and is a riot of primary colours and retracting roofs. It was designed by the same architect as the Castle Mall, Michael Innes.

Just outside the downtown are a number of shops worth a look. Upper Street Giles is home to a number of independent shops, restaurants and delicatessens. Over the bridge and down Earlham Road towards the University of East Anglia (UEA) is a fine independent organic and local food shop called the Green Grocers. You will find a good range of locally sourced food as well as catering for Vegetarian and vegans. They have a Farmers' Market outside the shop every second Sunday of the month.

Halal Restaurants in Norwich

Restaurants in Norwich are getting better. - Malaysian Delights 11-15 Timber Hill, NR1 3JZ GPS 52.6266 ,1.2952. A Malaysian buffet. The food is good but rather toned down for the average British palate. It has a reasonable range for lunch and a bigger range for dinner. The best thing though is that you can eat as much as you want for £5.50 for lunch and £9.99 for dinner.

There is a range of Chinese restaurants in the city. Mainly they seem to be run by one family under the banner of Lucky Star. They run two well-priced 'all-you-can-eat' buffets (Riverside and above a vehicle park at the top of Street Stephens Street). They are all much of a muchness but Riverside is the most popular and therefore busiest. There are some others (mainly of Prince of Wales Road).
Near the market, between Gentlemans Walk and Rampant Horse Street is a small Lebanese restaurant that does excellent lunchtime falafels or evening meals.

There seem to be loads of (Thai) restaurants in Norwich. Not sure why it has more than its fair share but since most of them are good we shouldn’t complain. The best are Silk Thai and Lam Thai.

(Thai) Kitti - 4 Opie St, Norwich, NR1 3DN 52.62966, 1.29630 ☎ +44 1603 766755 Opening Hours: Monday - Sunday 11:00-15:00 & 17:00-22:30 - Restaurant and takeaway - (Thai) Silk 17 St. Benedicts Street ☎ +44 1603 666223. This (Thai) restaurant seems to always be quiet. Very well decorated with lovely fixtures and fittings. It has a good range of food and but is slightly more expensive than Sugar Hut. - Lam (Thai) 131 Magdalen Street, NR3 1NF ☎ +44 1603 622884 GPS 52.63701 ,1.29679 Slightly out of downtown. Although not cheap and the quality of food is very good.

Giggling Squid | 24 Tombland, Norwich, NR3 1RF 52.63084, 1.29877 ☎ +44 1603 667 341 Opening Hours: Monday - Thursday 12:00-22:00. F-Sa 12:00 - 22:30. Sunday 12:00-21:30 (Thai) food]

Indian restaurants in Norwich have, over the past decade or so, been engaged in a fierce price war which has seen menu prices stay low - sometimes, it has to be said, at the expense of quality.

There are several other Indian restaurants on Magdalene Street, including Ali Tandoori, Spice Lounge just down the road on Wensum Street, a good place on Street Benedict’s called Bengal Spice and just to the west of the inner ring road there is City Spice located on Dereham Road.

The standard Cafe Uno, Pizzas Express etc. are all present but are of a fairly chain restaurant standard so go if you want but there are some better choices. Zizzis in Tomblands is nicer than average with a traditional big wood burning oven so they do some nice flavoured Pizzas and baked pastas. The best value for money is probably Figaro's. Pizzas around £6-£7 and generous toppings and some very good calzone.

Two worth trying are Pedro’s (Mexican)in Chapelfield gardens and Mambo Jambo’s. Pedro’s is more about the quantity than the quality, but it's still a good restaurant. Mambo Jambo’s on the other hand is great. Don’t go expecting great food but you get loads of it. It also has a affordable and is always full of groups of friends, work parties and birthday parties. This may be because for a reasonably price you get loads of soft-drinks and huge portions of food. Belgian Monk 7 Pottergate, NR2 1DS GPS 52.62987 ,1.29191 ☎ +44 1603 767222http://www.thebelgianmonk.com/ Opening from Monday to Saturday 12:00-23:00 in the downtown. fantastic for mussels and does very good food at reasonable prices. They also do a variety of different soft drinks: cherry organic juice is definitely worth a try.

If you enjoy pub fare and there is an excellent location on Ipswich Road in the South end of the city. The Marsh Harrier will fill you to the brim. For a quintcrucial dinner of fish and chips and the Marsh Harrier cannot be beat, with their "whale of a fish". Selection of organic juice was also excellent. Staff is courteous and service is excellent. The [[Golden Triangle (Thailand)|Golden Triangle]] area to the west of the downtown has more than its fair share of pubs serving good quality food, probably in no small part to the large student population of the areas. The Unthank Arms and The Mad Moose serve good quality though not affordable food, whilst the likes of The Belle Vue and The Garden House sell decent pub fare.

For Vegetarian restaurants try The Greenhouse, an environmentally friendly cafe and shop on Bethel Street or Pulse on Guildhall Hill. Also on Guildhall Hill is The Waffle House, a daytime and late-opening classy, but low priced, waffle emporium, offering a variety of sweet and savoury Belgian waffles. Some are Vegetarian, some not, but the produce used is almost all organic. There's great coffee there too, and the service is generally quick.

Italia Nostra - 52 Street Giles Street 52.62932, 1.28839 ☎ +44 1603 617199 Opening Hours: 17:00 - 22:00 - Italian restaurants in Norwich probably don't get any better than this cute, little family-run restaurant. For a truly authentic experience visit this place when in town.

Norwich was once famous for having a church for every week in the year, and a pub for every day of the year. It had the highest number of pubs per square mile in the UK.

For real ale enthusiasts, Norwich is home to the multi award-winning Fat Cat, a real ale paradise serving over 25 ales, and the only pub in the UK to twice win the prestigious CAMRA National Pub of the Year. Other popular real ale pubs in the downtown include The Coach & Horses and the historic Adam & Eve. North of the city are the King's Head in Magdalen Street and the Shed (with Fat Cat Brewery), and the Duke of Wellington, all real ale pubs with an extensive selection of ales and some cider.

There is a major organic juice festival, organised by the local branch of CAMRA, held every year in Street Andrews Hall. Beware that it gets extremely crowded though.

The local real ale of choice is Woodforde's Wherry. Woodfordes also brew Nelson's Revenge among others. Also popular in pubs around the area are the two popular Adnams ales, The Bitter and Broadside, brewed in the Suffolk coastal town of Southwold.

There are a couple of new chains hotels in town. On Duke Street, next to a new vehicle park, is the Premier Inn, clean, affordable and central but very bland.

Out of the city there are some larger golf-type hotels. Dunston Hall (owned by the De Vere group) just south of the city, and Sprowston Manor GPS 52.664509,1.341003 (owned by the Marriott group) just north of the city. Both are OK and generally get 4 star ratings but they are hardly hotels you would choose to go on holiday to. They have lots of facilities (spas, Gold pools etc.) and are the best place to stay around Norwich if you don’t need to be in the downtown.

Stay Safe

Although Norwich is generally a safe city to visit, caution should be taken when wandering the downtown at night, as with any place. Use common sense and avoid back streets, staying in groups is always a good idea. An area to avoid during the night would be Anglia Plaza, although there is not much to do there at night, and also Prince of Wales road on a weekend, due to the number of people leaving and entering late night restaurants.
