BRISTOL (UNITED KINGDOM)
Although many people want to go as far as possible when they go on a holiday, there are many beautiful things to see close to Belgium. Crossing the North Sea is enough to discover the beauty of Bristol in Great Britain.
Bristol has not always had a good reputation with tourists and was known as the ugly sister of Britain’s cities. This industrial city didn’t attract a lot of tourists but has changed dramatically in the past few years. Bristol has become well-known for its culture, gastronomy and economy. The city is more beautiful than ever. Streets are filled with restaurants, bars, museums, etc.
Tourists can visit the harbour to have a look at the mighty steamship “SS Great Britain” or go the many museums and galleries the city offers. Families can spend a day in the Bristol Zoo or go to the Bristol Aquarium while others can be overwhelmed by the architecture of the Clifton Suspension Bridge. Bristol offers boat trips and guided tours throughout the year to show the beauty of the town.
In summer, many people go here during festival season.
From budget hotels and hostels to guesthouses and expensive hotels, Bristol offers a place to sleep for every budget.
Bristol has not always been popular among tourists but it is certainly worth a visit today. Nightlife, gastronomy, culture, shopping streets, etc. Bristol has it all!
