Visiting Bristol

Visitors to Bristol will find a wide choice of hotels in the city centre, particularly in the popular Harbourside district. Hotels such as the popular Bristol Hotel offer rooms with waterfront views, or visitors could opt for a cosy apartment in one of the colourful houses overlooking the water. Either way guests will find themselves only a stone’s throw away from the plentiful restaurants and shops Harbourside has to offer.

Harbourside also has more than its fair share of tourist attractions, including the SS Great Britain, Isambard Kingdom Brunel’s magnificent steam ship, and The Bristol Aquarium. The Bristol Aquarium is perfect for families looking for somewhere to spend a wet day in Bristol. Tickets are valid for the entire day, so you can wander around the tanks as many times as you like without feeling rushed. Exhibits include the loveable clownfish of Finding Nemo fame, as well as various sharks and rays, and a ginormous Megalodon jaw.

Popular with international students, the University of Bristol offers world-class education in the heart of the vibrant city of Bristol. Over 28% of students at Bristol University are international, and over 150 countries are represented. Not only does the university offer academic excellence, but also a thriving social life, with over 350 student-run clubs and societies.
