Bristol Tours, Tickets & Things to Do
Wondering what to do in Bristol? The city rewards walking more than ticking off museums. Guided walking tours of the Old City and harbour cost £12–£22 and are the best-reviewed way in; Banksy and street-art walks run £14–£25 and take you from Park Street's ‘Well Hung Lover’ up to Stokes Croft; self-guided audio trails start at just £4.37. The two Brunel landmarks are the paid highlights — the SS Great Britain in her original dry dock (about £22) and the Clifton Suspension Bridge, free to walk across. Then there is the drinking: craft-beer crawls, cider tastings and private pub-hopping tours with a local, £37–£104. Ghost walks run £17–£22 after dark. And because Bristol sits at the gate of the West Country, day trips do a lot of work here — Bath is 15 minutes by train, Cheddar Gorge and Wells 40 minutes, Stonehenge and the Cotswolds an easy full day at £56–£86. Two days is the sweet spot. Compare every Bristol tour and ticket below by rating and price.
