Tourist Information

Our numerous Tourist Information Centres (TICs) will help you make the most of your stay. They can advise on a whole host of things to see and do and places to visit whether it’s comedy, theatre, guided tours or itineraries and can also help with booking accommodation, buying tickets for guided walking tours, bus tours and river cruises, too. Whatever it is they’ll be only too happy to help.
