From Brunel to Banksy!
Britain’s 4th most popular visitor destination, Bristol features Brunel’s magnificent Clifton Suspension Bridge spanning the Avon River. More Brunel handiwork is in the harbor, 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 registered historic 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 centers 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 artist Banksy. Just like Booking.com’s Bristol accommodations, 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 rail line is now a cycle route and makes a great day trip.

Bristol seems a different city every few meters, from the Harbour to the Hills, the amazing St Mary Redcliffe Church and the M Shed Museum, the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery or the Red Lodge, the Banksy Graffiti and the magnificent Brunel's SS Great Britain. We had only one day, but we'll be back to visit more.

This was only a one-night stay as a recce of a city we'd never visited. For all the perceptions we'd built up about horrendous parking issues, it turned out OK (if expensive in NCP multi-stories. Loved the architecture, the Clifton Suspension bridge and surrounds, the Zoo and the Harbourside. Much more to see and do in Bristol and we certainly will be back for more.

We took a taxi to the suspension bridge which had a great view! We visited the Indoor Market which was somewhat disappointing and not what we expected. There are beautiful patks in the area. We also visited Bath which is a short train ride away.

We loved the feel of the city and all it's possibilities.
We loved the feel of the city and all it's possibilities. From outdoor food market to indoor restaurants (one even felt like it used to be a church or theatre hall). The different views from the suspension bridge and from the water side made it an easily enjoyable city for anyone really. If your looking for a city to feel free to just go and explore this is a really good place to go.

I like things off the beaten track.
I like things off the beaten track. Cosies in St Paul's is a brilliant reggae place- younger vibes. Primrose cafe, lots of seating and great full english with bagel breakfast. Suspension bridge views Brandon Hill views. The Bristolian Cafe - in the more Urban Area of Montpelier. Everything is pretty much walkign distance, no more than 40mins at a time. The full moon attic bar, also great for chilled outdoor drinking and good music.

A lovely city, the architecture is stunning and there is always something to look at around the next corner. Love the multi coloured houses at Clifton and the History of the place, including IKB and his ship, and Bridge - if you have never visited Bristol it should be at the top of your bucket list, it's a superb city 👍 X

“Close to Cabot Circus but good pub (the Volunteer Tavern) behind and close to the Exchange where we went to see a band. Staff were helpful and friendly. Despite it being a Bank Holiday Friday the hotel was quiet. Free parking. Best value central Bristol Hotel I have stayed in.”

The rooms were a good size and the bed and pillows were lovely.”
