City Clipper. Fabulous scenic cruises all around our fine city

We’re really proud of our fine city and so we’d love to help you to see it from a rather special viewpoint, with a fabulous scenic cruise aboard an open top bus .

Enjoy a relaxing circular ride around all the best sights of the historic ‘City of Stories’ or hop-off at any of the twelve stops shown on the map to explore on foot before catching another bus later in the day. 

From the classic must-see destinations like the Castle and Cathedral, to some lesser-known places such as the medieval Bishop Bridge or the historic Quayside our carefully chosen route will ensure you see all the best that Norwich has to offer like you’ve never seen it before.

And because we know Norwich is such a fascinating place, you’ll be able to enjoy an entertaining and informative commentary whilst we show you around.  In fact, the city has so many stories to tell, we’ve even put together two different versions that we’ll play on alternate trips during the day.

You can get on or off at any of the stops above.  If you’re on board then simply ring the bell and then please stay seated until the bus has stopped.  And if you’re waiting to get on, please signal clearly to the driver so they will know to stop and pick you up.
