Bristol City Guide


United Kingdom>Bristol
Bristol is a truly beautiful, interesting and distinguished city. Beautiful parks and gardens lead on to interesting alleys and lanes, whilst distinguished Georgian houses climb the hills of Bristol culminating in Brunel's masterpiece, the Clifton Suspension Bridge.

But Bristol is much more than this; it is a modern city where the latest in contemporary arts can be found and the night-life is interesting and varied.

The city hosts an outstanding programme of events throughout the year including the Harbour Regatta and the world famous International Balloon Fiesta. Some events are free and others finish with a spectacular firework display. Events are also held at the city's many museums and galleries.

Bristol has always encouraged the Arts. Visitors can see a play at the historic Theatre Royal, watch a West End musical at the Hippodrome, listen to the best in music at the Colston Hall or seek out one of the city's many alternative venues.

Bristol also boasts an enormous range of shops. From the historic St Nicholas market, the specialist shopping of Clifton, Bristol's West end and Christmas Steps to the bustle of busy Broadmead, Bristol can offer a vast choice.

Bristol has a truly mouth watering selection of restaurants to suit every taste and pocket. From the trendy strip of Whiteladies road to the historic harbourside, the city center to the inner suburbs, Bristol's range of restaurants is second to none.
