Vanliga frågor
Vanliga frågor om Bristol
What are the best tours in Bristol?
The highest-rated experiences are the Old City and harbour walking tour (£12–£22), the Banksy and street-art trail (£14–£25), the SS Great Britain in her dry dock (about £22), a craft-beer or Old City food tour (£37–£75), the King Street ghost walk (£17–£22), and a day trip to Bath or Cheddar Gorge (£30–£86).
How much do Bristol tours cost?
Self-guided audio trails start at £4.37, guided walking tours cost £12–£22, street-art tours £14–£25, ghost walks £17–£22, bike tours about £29.50, food and drink tours £37–£75, private pub tours around £104, and full-day trips to Bath, Stonehenge or Wales £56–£86.
How many days do you need in Bristol?
Two days covers the city properly — one for the Old City, harbour and SS Great Britain, one for the street art and Clifton. A third day buys Bath, or Cheddar Gorge and Wells.
When is the best time to visit Bristol?
May, June and September have the longest comfortable days without the festival crush. August brings the Balloon Fiesta and July the Harbour Festival — both are worth planning around, in either direction, because the city books out.
Is Bristol a walkable city?
The centre, Old City and harbourside are flat and walkable in ten or fifteen minutes end to end. Clifton is 25 minutes uphill, and Bedminster’s street art is across the river — both are short bus or bike rides.
Where can you see Banksy in Bristol?
Three originals remain on public display: ‘Well Hung Lover’ on Park Street, ‘The Girl with the Pierced Eardrum’ at Harbourside, and ‘Mild Mild West’ in Stokes Croft. Guided street-art tours reach all three and cover the works that no longer survive.
What are the best day trips from Bristol?
Bath is 15 minutes away by train; Cheddar Gorge and Wells 40 minutes south; Stonehenge an hour and a quarter southeast; the Cotswolds an hour northeast; and Cardiff 50 minutes over the Severn. Bath needs no tour; the rest are far easier with one.
