Bristol Overview

Bristol is a city which skilfully merges its present and its past. It's been a port for a thousand years, and Bristol certainly has nautical rhythms in its blood. But alongside the echoes of seafarers past are the sounds of a young city, the bands and bars, the clubs and cafes. It's hip and historic, dynamic yet laid back. And running through it all is a sense of adventure and a taste for the unconventional.

Quality hotels of the city, the coast and countryside provide the warmest of welcomes, and wonderful restaurants and pubs serve great locally made beers, fine wines and food that is of an excellent standard, often from local farms and gardens.

Shopping in style, and for style, is a Bristol experience. Visit Broadmead for big name stores selling all you would expect in the centre of a major regional capital. Visit Bristol's West End, Park Street, Christmas Steps, Clifton Village and Whiteladies Road where you will find finely crafted furniture, arts and crafts in shops like the Bristol Guild, exquisite boutiques, clothes for clubbing, music stores, art galleries, great cafes...and if you are looking for something very different, try Bristol's East Side where Asian and Caribbean influences dominate stores selling food, fabrics and crafts.

Whatever kind of visit you're planning, whether it's a romantic weekend for two, a fun packed family holiday, or even a full blown shopping trip, Bristol has it all!
