On the River Avon
Bristol has a small-town feel, but in terms of culture, tourism and history, the city is not an inch behind the world’s major metropolises. There is an abundance of wonderful sights, and the greenery surrounding the city on all sides makes you want to stroll endlessly through its streets. During these walks, pay particular attention to:
-
Clifton Suspension Bridge
This is one of the city’s most famous attractions. Walking across the bridge suspended 75 metres above the surface of the River Avon can be a challenge. However, it is certainly worth it for the breathtaking views.
-
Banksy’s street art
It is from Bristol that the famous anonymous street artist, whose work can be found on the city’s buildings, comes from. Banksy creates intriguing, playful, allegorical graffiti depicting the current socio-political condition of global society.
-
Blaise Castle
Located in the heart of a large park between the trees, it appeared in Jane Austen’s ‘Northanger Abbey’. The perfect place for a picnic and after-dinner relaxation!
-
International Balloon Festival
The hot air balloon festival is held annually. The event has been organised since 1979 and is hugely popular. Around 500,000 people watch the displays of over 150 balloons each year!
