HULL being listed as one of the top 25 places to visit in the whole world by a major magazine has been deemed a “huge honour” for the city.

National Geographic named Hull in its prestigious ‘Best Of The World’ feature for 2026.

The historic publication, which was founded in the US in 1888, described Hull as a city with a “defiant spirit” and described how its “laid-back charm is so hard to resist’.

The feature focused on how Hull is “going all in on its seafaring past” next year with a number of revamped attractions set to reopen including the Maritime Museum, Arctic Corsair and Spurn Lightship.
