Bristol is located only 90 minutes to the west of London and is an exciting and lively university city with about 500 000 inhabitants. Despite the big size of the city, almost all points of interest, theatres, cinemas, concert halls, restaurants and clubs are within walking distance. The beautiful promenade of the harbour with countless restaurants and pubs invite you to linger. Shopping fans will also get their money’s worth.
Bristol has seen a huge boost in the past years. Historical as well as new buildings characterise the city. The mixture of both old and new gives Bristol a unique and unforgettable atmosphere.
There are relatively few citizens of other cultures in Bristol which makes it more likely to meet the English folk and become acquainted with their lifestyle. Ask an Englishmen in which bigger city he or she would prefer to live. You will be surprised how many would name Bristol – even though the city is not even that known in Great Britain!
