Good quality Indian food close to the city centre with all the amenities of the city with free secure parking. It was great for our large party, with competitive prices.

It is a well presented Indian restaurant, with a great chef who does really authentic good food. Service is detailed and good, with a very pleasant ambience and relaxing bar - it's a great place to go.

Punchinello's has been recently taken over (Dec 07) by new owners and they have transformed it. Situated in the very centre of Nottingham opposite the Royal Centre it is ideal for shoppers looking for lunch or theatre goers for a pre-theatre meal. The new team are cooking fantastic fresh food and the atmosphere is just right.

Small venue that doesn't pander to fashion. Nothing quite so thrilling as watching Wilco perform with four thrashing guitars, up close and personal. Great stuff.

Brilliant 'alternative' bar/venue. Intimate and unique I've seen all sorts of bands there from nationally-known bands like Elbow or The Twang to local bands like Model Morning and it never disappoints.

Happy hour is amazing and the hour lasts ages so drinks are cheap! Hooray for the Bodega Social Club.

Smaller than its sister venue (Rock City), it's more intimate and so perfect for the more indie/up-and-coming acts.

This is a proper 'rock' venue: just the right size and pretty much unchanged for 20 years or more (apart from the bands getting onstage a lot earlier than they used to).

The area is a bit rundown but the Saarar is wonderful. Great food and, without question, the best naan bread I, or anyone else I know, has ever tasted.

It's an Indian restaurant rather than a curry house, if that makes any sense.

The food is just fantastic - a million miles from the generic curry sauce used on different ingredients that so many places churn out. Fantastic food, good prices, good portions, friendly staff.

It's the best Indian food I've had outside of India, and since moving away from Nottingham I've really missed it. Despite hunting high and low in Bristol, where I am now, I've not yet found anywhere near its equal.

It is a vegetarian and vegan restaurant which will not disappoint a meat eater. Regular changing menus with 4 or 5 choices. Always an interesting variety of cultures and cuisines covered within the choices. Good short wine list of largely organic wines and beers. Friendly and attentive service.

The best Spanish and world tapas restaurant ever! The restaurant is small yet very friendly, and has such a nice atmosphere. The choice is immense, mainly Spanish tapas, with approximately 12 world tapas dishes. If you arrive between 1700-1930 Monday-Thursday, you can eat for the time you arrive (eg arrive at 6.20pm eat for £6.20) however, the menu for this option is limited! Each dish is about, £3-£4 and very generous.

I’ve been lucky enough to travel to quite a lot of places around the world, but one of my favourite places is Nottinghamshire. The city is compact, bustling and friendly. There always seems to be some great play, concert, exhibition or festival to keep you entertained. When the bright lights of the city get too much, or the hangover kicks in, it’s easy to escape into the countryside within minutes. You can discover the natural beauty of the county which inspired DH Lawrence and was home to the iconic Robin Hood.
It's really easy to get to as well, train station in the city, Nottingham East Midlands Airport just south of the city and a few minutes from the M1. Trams and buses make it a good city if your using public transport too.

Nottingham’s a great place to visit. My top tip would be visit the infamous Nottingham Castle which today houses some art exhibitions. You can look over the entire city from the castle gardens. There’s even a chance to explore the secret caves of Mortimer’s hole which tunnel deep into the Castle Rock. After the exploration I recommend you recharge with a good pint at Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem, Britain’s oldest inn which is just underneath the castle. Knights stopped off on their way to the crusades in the pub. It’s packed with atmosphere and history.

Nottingham East Midlands is about 19km south-east of the city centre. There is a shuttle bus provided between the airport and the city. SkyLink serves the rail station, Friar Lane (Market Square) and Nottingham Trent University Clifton Campus. It drops off/picks up outside arrivals and there are two per hour (24/7) at 10 and 40 past the hour. However, it is costly- £4.50 each way.

The best restaurant in Nottingham. Serving typical dishes from around Europe, the kind of place that makes you feel proud when you find it on holiday. The atmosphere is welcoming and pleasant with an air of sophistication. Prices are very reasonable.

f arriving by train and going to any city centre hotel I recommend either taxi or tram. The taxi rank and tram station are right next to the station.

Broadmarsh bus station is about 300metres from the rail station, from here you can get long distance coaches. All other buses use the areas around the city centre for stopping. If you use the bus network make sure you have the correct change as NO change is given at all. Be aware when walking/waiting around bus/tram stops as pickpockets are rife, and these areas are extremely crowded.

Nottingham’s public transport is fully integrated and if you are using more than one mode or making various journeys ask for a "Kangaroo ticket" on any bus, tram or suburban train. Its about £4 per day but enables unlimited travel all day within greater Nottingham on all forms of public transport. Well worth it when you consider that it costs £1.20 for a single on the tram, no matter where you get off.

This designer filled street is often referred to as “Nottingham's Bond Street” and it’s easy to see why. Located at the end of Clumber Street and about 100m south of the Lace Market Quarter. Shops here include Diesel, Ted Baker, Flannels, Limeys, Coast, Kurt Geiger, and in the vicinity of Bridlesmith Gate is a flagship Hugo Boss store (St Peters Gate), the original Paul Smith shop (Byard Lane), flagship Paul Smith shop (low pavement) and Reiss (Byard Lane). This is well worth a visit.

100m south of Lace Market and 200m north of Old Market Square. Just use the upstairs exit of Broadmarsh Centre and its dead opposite
