Situated in the southwest of England, Bristol is a city bursting with cultural charm, and rich historical heritage. Known for its famous street art, food vendors and picturesque waterfront, Bristol offers attractions for everyone. In this week’s blog we wanted to share five things to do in the town of Bristol.

Explore Bristol’s Harbourside

Bristol’s lively harbourside is a central hub of activity, with the streets lined with bustling bars, restaurants, and cultural attractions. A popular activity along the harbourside is taking a leisurely boat trip along the water’s edge. Excursions can be pre-booked online or simply turn up for one of the many scheduled timeslots. For a more relaxing afternoon, we recommend one of the bars along the water’s edge.

Immerse Yourself in Street Art

One thing we love about Bristol is its vibrancy and street art. Bristol has gained international recognition for its street art scene with credit to its most celebrated graffiti artist, Banksy! The anonymous street artist challenges societal norms through his artwork, amazing both locals and visitors alike. Learn more about the street art by taking a guided walking tour around the narrow alleys and side streets, witness incredible murals that highlight Bristol’s artistic spirit.
