Bristol is one of the biggest cities in the South-West, rich in culture with an exciting history dotted all around the city architecture and a solid musical and art scene. It’s also been an important trading centre since the 12th century.

When I lived in Bristol, I had plenty of time to explore the main attractions and landmarks of the city. I will get there eventually, though, so stay stunned! As well as a few great day trips, but that’s not the topic of today.




If you go to Bristol, there’s no way you can miss the Clifton Suspension Bridge; it’s an iconic feature of the city. Every summer, the International Balloon Fiesta is happening over the Avon River.
Sadly, I haven’t had the chance to see the Balloon Fiesta yet, hopefully this year!
Another landmark is the Cathedral pictured above; with that, you can add Brandon Hill, Cabot Tower, Bristol Museum (and the M Shed, which I sadly don’t have any photos of), and you almost have every must-see of Bristol!

I said Bristol had an important art scene, right?
Well, you can find a lot of street art scattered all over the city—one of the most famous being the break-dancing Jesus and the cheating woman.
Though many incredible pieces are scattered in the city, it’s always pleasant to wander around the town and stumble on some street art. There, you can find a lot of pieces in Stoke Croft.



The old city of Bristol and St Nicholas Market, are some of my favourite places in the town with Brandon Hill.
The market has the best food stalls you can find in town, the diversity of the food you can see is impressive. As well as the whole food scene in the city as a matter of fact.




Who doesn’t love colourful houses? Well, Totterdown and Hotwells are the places you need to check for this!

One more reason that makes Bristol a great city to visit.

Bristol is a harbourside city, so there

I’m sold! I lived in London for a couple of years and I’m kicking myself that I didn’t visit Bristol while I was there! I would have loved to visit the Cathedral and the Bristol museum…. and of course eat some of those cupcakes!
These pictures are amazing! I love the street art pictures and the one of the Clifton Suspension Bridge. I’ve been to Bristol and absolutely loved it.
You’ve definitely convinced me with these photos. I love those colorful houses! And that street art of the person dangling form the widow made me do a double take!
Great photos! My favourite is the stained-glass rose window similar to the one in Notre Dame. I love when people share highlights of a small town to visit outside of the main cities – I feel like this offers a truer cultural experience. Will have to add Bristol to my list when I am in the UK.
Bristol sounds like amazing city with a lot of things to do! I really like your pictures, it seems like I can spend there a weekend at least. And the art scene looks truly interesting.
I love these older styled buildings. The architecture is simply stunning. I wish we had more buildings like that in Australia. These photos did inspire me to plan a visit to Bristol
Wow, Bristol looks really fantastic. I love all the brightly coloured houses and street art. And I could probably eat those cupcakes for days! This would be just a great trip from London!
There’s so many trips from London I want to do, and now Bristol has been added to my list! Looks so nice and I had no idea it’d be so colourful.
This place looks amazing! Beautiful photos. Definitely going on my travel wish list.
I haven’t been to Bristol and would love to see this harbour side city. Clifton Suspension Bridge is indeed beautiful.
Beautiful photos! Definitely feeling inspired to visit after seeing those adorable colorful houses and gorgeous sunsets!
Beautiful photos. Love the murals. The sunset is gorgeous. The colorful homes. Bristol is such a beautiful city!
Absolutely stunning place. Adding this to my endless travel list!
Bristol looks like such a pretty city to visit! I haven’t made it down there yet but would love to at some point this year.
