One of Europe's most dynamic cities with over a thousand years of history and a fascinating industrial and maritime heritage to match, Bristol successfully pulls off its proud past and vibrant present. As the largest city in the south behind London, Bristol's famous landmarks - from the peaceful Downs and Bristol Cathedral to its visible associations with Brunel - seal its desirability as a place to visit on escorted coach tour.
Explore this lively city by foot to sample the best of what it has to offer. Bristol has no shortage of intriguing museums or cosy restaurants and its nightlife is far from dwindling. Wander through the city to take in parks, gardens and a mix of Victorian, Georgian and modern architecture, or take the weight off your feet and enjoy it all in another light from the seat of a ferry boat.
- Visit Brunel's ss Great Britain to marvel at the elegant interior of the world's first great ocean liner and descend into the dry dock to see its screw propeller.
- Another must during your coach trip is Brunel's other mark on Bristol, The Clifton Suspension Bridge.
