Douglas is the Isle of Man capital with by far the highest
population at over 25,000. It is the island hub for shipping,
transport, shopping, and entertainment. It is also the home
of the government and main finance sector.
|
Welcome to Douglas, situated on the east coast of the Isle of Man.
Douglas has been the island's capital since 1863 and holds most of the
island action. Its beautiful sea front is lined with picturesque hotels
and restaurants. The shopping high street is filled with familiar names
like Boots, Marks & Spencer, Next, etc, as well as many locally owned stores.
Parking is available on the sea front or in various car parks around the town.
Tourists staying in Douglas should think about where they want to be.
There are two sides to the hotel market. The south side is close to town,
steam railway, buses and sea terminal. The north side leaves behind the noise
of town and is closer to the Manx Electric Railway. From spring to early
autumn the Horse Drawn Trams run along the front. This can make a big
difference for those without cars, who wish to get along the 2 mile long
promenade. Buses and Taxis are also available.
