Bristol: European Green Capital

Bristol City map

Nestled in south-west England, Bristol boasts a colourful maritime history, with plenty to see and do no matter what kind of getaway you’re after. And now, thanks to its impressive investment plans for transport and energy, a reduction in carbon emissions and a growing green economy, it’s been awarded this prestigious prize. 

Announcing the award, the jury concluded that Bristol “is an innovator in terms of the green economy, with a powerful communication strategy and the commitment and enthusiasm required to develop its role as a model for Europe.”

It’s a diverse and exciting city, steeped in history yet also home to a vibrant contemporary arts scene. Planning a visit? Here’s our suggestion for the perfect day in the city, which includes stop-offs at the gorgeous Botanic Gardens, the majestic SS Great Britain and the very innovative See No Evil street art exhibition
