Bristol is a great mix of the old and the new. As an important port, Bristol was at the heart of the British Empire and the industrial revolution.
Bristol has always been an adventurous city in search of new horizons. In bygone times, explorers and merchant adventurers set off on epic journeys from its harbour. Nowadays, the city's spirit of boldness and creativity expresses itself in art, architecture and an enviable quality of life, through a vibrant culture and exciting entertainment programme.
Bristol has many museums, historical buildings, cinemas, restaurants, bars and nightclubs.
