Truro is Cornwall’s only city, charmingly compact yet brimming with attractions. Its skyline is dominated by the Gothic-Revival Truro Cathedral, one of only a few UK cathedrals with three spires. Wander through cobbled streets lined with elegant Georgian terraces.

Stop in at the Cornwall Museum & Art Gallery, which houses a rich collection of local historic, geological, and global art. Catch a show at the Hall for Cornwall, or relax in Victoria Gardens beside the river.
