Areas of Bristol
Old City
Just a short distance from the busy central shopping area, step into the Old City and you'll find yourself surrounded by the incredible old buildings and relics of the past.
The cobbled streets and winding alleyways of Broad Street, Corn Street, St Nicholas Market, King Street & Welsh Back remain much the same today as they were hundreds of years ago. Areas of Bristol
Harbourside Once a busy dock where sailors and merchants would trade goods and set sail for voyages of discovery, Bristol's harbourside remains the buzzing hub of the city.
The harbourside is an attractive, modern development filled with restaurants, bars, shops and hotels. With the long stretch of waterway making for lovely strolls on either side of the harbour, and Millennium Square acting as a fantastic central hub, with it's fountains and big screen, there is plenty to do to keep everyone amused here.
Areas of Bristol

Areas of Bristol
Stokes Croft and Gloucester Road
Stokes Croft attracts visitors from all over the country with its unusual shops, great pubs, real clubs, fabulous food and a wealth of artist studios and ever-changing exhibitions.
Gloucester Road is well known for having the most independent shops on one street in the whole of Europe. With a large number of independent traders as well as household names it is a real quirky and bohemian addition to Bristol’s shopping areas.
Both areas resemble an outdoor gallery with colourful graffiti that continually transforms its walls and buildings. You might see some great artwork today – but by the time you want to show it to your friends tomorrow it has miraculously vanished or changed into a completely new picture
