Nightlife is ok -- it is a city so there are places to go but nothing amazing.

Exeter is not that great as the nightlife is pretty sh*tty. If I were you I would head on down to Torquay. That is so much better than Exeter. It’s amazing!

Don’t even think about coming to Exeter. The nightlife is rubbish -- all the clubs are filled with little kids. Shopping is great but beware of pickpockets. Tourists can be seen from a mile away. Just be careful when you next go down Topsham Road -- it’s been known for several hit and runs. I advise you to stay in if you decide to come to Exeter and lock your doors. You will be safer. One thing that I must say is great about Exeter is all the good looking lads!

I grew up in Exeter. It's a mostly pretty town. The Cathedral is lovely, the Quay is worth a visit and the V&A museum is good for a couple of hours. Ignore the comment about the drunks; it's not true. The nightlife is great and all you ever see are good natured students. The shops are better than you'd expect for a city of 100,000 as it's the regional hub. It's otherwise pretty small, and if you're in the region don't spend more than a day or two here - the countryside around is the main draw.

If you like beautiful buildings, go to Exeter Cathedral. It's amazing!

Exeter is wicked. If you fancy a good night out, go to Arena and then Paradise Tandoori. They have the best naan kebabs I have ever tasted in my life!
