Let City Sightseeing introduce all the things to do and see in the city of Ipswich. Hop off at The Ipswich Transport Museum which boasts the largest collection of transport items in Britain devoted to just one town. Everything here was either made or used in and around Ipswich. The Museum also organises special events throughout the year. If you appreciate art and architecture, the enchanting red brick tudor Christchurch Mansion holds large collections of art by well-known Suffolk painters such as Thomas Gainsborough and John Constable. Walk through period rooms from the luxurious Georgian Saloon, to the more modest Victorian wing with its displays of children's toys and dolls houses. Hop off and marvel at the impressive classically-styled Old Custom House building, built in 1875. With its four columned porch bearing the Ipswich Coat-of-Arms of lion rampant and the stern of three ships supported by sea-horses, it is a reminder of the town's maritime heritage and overlooks the Wet Dock.
Plenty of things to do by day or night in the Suffolk town
