Details About Douglas

Since 1863, Douglas has been the capital of the Isle of Man and its Viking heritage is manifest in the harbor. Gabled buildings with arched windows face wooden boats and tall-masted sailing vessels, and the promenade stretches a full two miles. Bear in mind that this is the home of the world-famous TT motorcycle race and some of the locals always drive as if in training. A wonderful folk museum depicts the old Manx way of life. Cat lovers, take note of the island’s indigenous tailless feline.
