Douglas is the capital and largest city of the Isle of Man, located in the middle of the Irish Sea and is the political, economic and cultural center of the British Crown Dependency of the Isle of Man. Famous for its rich history, Victorian architecture and scenic seaside views, the city has a population of around 27,000.
Douglas has medieval origins and flourished in the 19th century with the rise of tourism. The city retains much of its Victorian architecture, such as the famous horse-drawn trams and steam railroads, which have become local icons. It is home to the Isle of Man's parliament (Tynwald) and government offices, and hosts an annual international motorcycle TT race that attracts tourists from all over the world.
Douglas' economy is dominated by finance, tourism and shipping, and thanks to the Isle of Man's low tax policy, it is an international offshore financial center. Tourist attractions include Douglas Bay, the Manx Museum and the promenade walks, offering an abundance of seafood cuisine and outdoor activities, making it an ideal starting point for exploring the natural beauty of the Isle of Man.
