The races cover the entire island starting in Douglas, through to Ramsey and up over the mountain. If you want scenic and long views the Mountain is the best place to go, although the pubs are limited up on top..
Another good place is Braddan Bridge in Douglas, the pub on the course there is perfect, McDonalds (if you like that sthi) is just down the round a bit - but get there early... it gets busy. Crosby is another good spot but once you're in there, your stuck...
There's loads of great places there really - stacks of pubs..! Have a great time - and don't forget Douglas Prom in the evenings for the Bushys beertent and some great entertainment..

Hey! I lived in the IOM for 7 years, and moved away 3 years ago, but i can remember when we had people to come and stay in our house for TT from all over the world, so we had alot to do with it. Yer, the races go all around the island, but I would say that some of the best places to see the races are in Bradden in Douglas, as there is normally lots of seating and a great veiw from the church, or Peel. I watched the TT from Bradden for all the years i lived there, so that would be my best bet. Hope i helped!

I once rode the TT course, backwards, in the back seat of a Citroen 2CV, driven by a mad Methodist minister. The whole island is affected by the races as far as I can remember. Enjoy!

There are loads of pubs scattered around the circuit. Just make your way to one. Sit, drink and watch the bikes tearing by at 140mph+
