Norwich Castle Museum & Art Gallery stands as a striking city-centre landmark where visitors can explore 900 years of archaeology and local heritage stories. The venue opens daily from 10am to 5pm, with last admission at 4.30pm.

Norwich Cathedral provides a peaceful indoor escape, allowing visitors to explore the vast nave, medieval cloisters and more than 900 years of history. Entry is free with donations welcomed. The cathedral was built between 1096 and about 1145, beginning under the city's first bishop Herbert de Losinga, with the nave completed around 1120 and the main Norman cathedral finished in the 1140s. Free guided tours usually run hourly between 10am and 3pm from Monday to Saturday.

The Sainsbury Centre at the University of East Anglia is a public art museum housed in a landmark building designed by Sir Norman Foster.
