Discover Bristol City

Bristol: Bristling with life

It has been called “a city of constant variety” (The Observer), “south western England’s largest and coolest city” (Lonely Planet), ‘hip and savvy” (Fodor’s Up Close Great Britain), and “a city of radical energy and laid-back confidence” (The Times). Whichever way you put it, Bristol city is brimming over with things to do.

Climb on board SS Great Britain, Brunel’s maritime masterpiece and the UK’s Museum of the Year in 2006/07, and take an incredible journey through the workings of the everyday world at Explore@Bristol, one of the country’s most exciting interactive science centres.

Travel back in time with a visit to The Georgian House or Bristol’s “hidden treasure”, the Elizabethan Red Lodge. Wander through the magnificent, naturally-lit galleries of the Royal West of England Academy of Arts and sample the cutting-edge contemporary art on display at the harbourside Arnolfini.

Meander through the leafy squares and waterside walkways. And, for a complete change of scene, Bath, Stonehenge, Cheltenham and Glastonbury are all within an hour’s drive.
