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.

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.

The best shopping street in Verona, found just to the left of the arena. Louis Vuitton is on the corner so it can’t be missed. Shops here include Diesel, Gucci, Versace, Benneton, Energie, Sixty, Miss Sixty, Sisley, MaxMara, Mandarina Duck, Witboy, Stefanel, Bulagri and Cartier.

A shop that’s not to be missed (I forget the name) sells shirts for both men and women but is on the right hand side as the arena is behind you. It sells the most amazing shirts I've ever come across at the best prices.

At the other end of the street (the opposing end to the arena end) is a small market selling fruit and veg and nice little souvenirs and if you turn right there is a little archway about 20-30m on the left, walk through it and you find yourself at Juliet’s balcony. Next to the archway is Armani Jeans store and about 20 metres further on the right hand side is a very big Emporio Armani Store.

For perfume walk down a bit further and on the right is a nice shop, with very helpful staff. The "more mature lady" who works there is best friends with a sales assistant in Emporio Armani, i ended up getting a discount, just be nice.

Off the main square, as the arena is in front of you, the shopping heaven is to the left with Louis Vuitton on the end

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
