isn't a city centre in Bristol. The sights of Bristol vary from
contemporary to historic. It's quarters are each home to individually

Against the backdrop of the harbour are
bars, restaurants, cinemas and art galleries. Bristol also offers a
celebrated cathedral, Clifton Suspension Bridge, Clifton Observatory,
caves, and Bristol Zoo. The city is bursting with grand architecture and
ornate buildings, containing diverse shops, cafes, theatres, museums
and concerts.
Just beyond Bristol is a world of quiet country lanes, rolling
countryside, meadows, valleys and woods. An amazing coastline scattered
with charming seaside towns, and some of the most spectacular sites in
England.

warmest cities. Summers are usually sunny and warm, while winters are
cold and wet. Summer days, however, can start out overcast and damp,
clearing later, and winter days can be crisp and cold.
