Last Updated: November 16, 2024

Bristol, We are a city that constantly wins awards for being the best place to live and visit in the UK and I’ve been lucky enough to be part of this beautiful city’s story for nearly 40 years being born and growing up here. From watching the harbourside transform from a dockyard into a buzzing cultural hub to seeing independent shops and cafes breathe new life into old streets, this place has an energy unlike anywhere else, you will not get bored if your visiting, there is plenty of things to do in Bristol.

Bristol never stops surprising even the people that live here and claim to have seen it all. Let’s explore the city together – get ready to experience Bristol through the eyes of a true local.

1. Clifton Suspension Bridge

The Clifton Suspension Bridge is the most popular and iconic landmark of Bristol and is a marvel of engineering that has stood the test of time since it was built in 1864 by the famous engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel. It is the most popular place to visit in Bristol and your visit simply isn’t complete until you have been there and enjoyed the view of the city during the day and night if you can fit two visits in!

There is a free visitor centre on the other side if you cross from the Clifton side of the Bridge where you can learn more about the bridge and its history.
