After dropping your luggage at the hotel, start your day of exploration on Gloucester Road, a shopping street with beautifully preserved period buildings. Stop at Saint Nicholas Market for lunch.

The Bristol Cathedral, the street art districts, and the harbor area with the elegant steamship SS Great Britain will further enrich your day. If you still have energy, don’t hesitate to climb Cabot Tower to admire the magnificent view of Bristol.

Return to Bristol. Take advantage of this last afternoon to get lost in the shopping district of Clifton Village, dotted with sumptuous Georgian villas, undoubtedly one of the most pleasant areas of Bristol for a walk. Make sure not to miss the Clifton Suspension Bridge.
