Bristol in a nutshell
In Bristol, you’ll come across Banksy’s murals and the old docks area, which has been redeveloped into museums, promenades and residential areas.
In the harbour, take a look at the historic steamship SS Great Britain, then head up to the Clifton district. From there, you can walk across the famous suspension bridge directly over the Avon Gorge.
A weekend is enough for a first visit, during which you’ll also have time to take a trip to the nearby historic city of Bath.
If you want to be within walking distance of the harbour, choose accommodation in Bristol’s historic centre.
