From Brunel to Banksy!
Britain’s 4th most popular visitor destination, Bristol boasts Brunel’s magnificent Clifton Suspension Bridge spanning the River Avon. More Brunel handiwork is in the harbour where his SS Great Britain steamship is moored. Pirate walks here detail the city’s underground naval history.
Further north in Clifton is the world’s oldest zoo outside a capital city. Other Bristol attractions include At-Bristol Museum and the Grade I-listed Corn Exchange with its 4 "nails" outside where money changed hands. Also worth a visit is St Nicholas Market, in a Georgian square home to several bars and a Slow Food Market on the 1st Sunday of every month. Other Bristol shopping options include shopping centres at Cabot Circus, and Cribbs Causeway on the outskirts.
As a student city, Bristol really comes to life after dark. The live music scene here is fantastic and has given way to several internationally known bands, but for something more alternative head to Eastside.
Another option for alternative-seekers is the work of hometown street artists Banksy. Just like Booking.com’s Bristol accommodation, his work is spread throughout this fabulous city.
This Gateway to the West Country is served by Bristol Airport and Temple Meads train station. The old Bristol to Bath railway line is now a cycle route and makes a great day trip.

Bristol is a great up and coming area.
Bristol is a great up and coming area. Not too far from beautiful Bath, the city features lots of quirks being built on hilly terrain. The bars were alternative and quirky and there are some wonderful places to dine at brunch and for coffee! Ample shopping and entertainment, particularly in the summer months! The river is a great walk, all through the city and we ended at the famous bridge! Fish and chips there a must!

Lots to do and see.
Lots to do and see. Plenty of places to eat, theatre and cinemas. Good shopping malls for the shopaholics. Bus service is very good. Taxis very expensive, think we got taken on a ride around, taxi was £6.60 returned by bus for £2.00 so beware.

Bristol is a great city so much to do M Shed museum SS Great Britain and the suspension bridge are a must. The bars and restaurants are very good. We had 3 very good meals out. 1 at cote Barassie the Thali Bar and Mezzaluna.
“The rooms are nicely finished and clean. The hotel is on the way out towards the airport so it was very handy for my one night stopover. I had a lovely walk and boat ride along the river into the city centre.”
“The atmosphere was great. We are mature amongst younger people but was made to feel welcome. Perfect location for Calstone Hall and all city centre activities. We stayed before catching s plane at Bristol airport. Would recommend to all.”
