About Bristol
Bristol, England is a creative and fiercely independent city situated at the confluence of the Rivers Avon and Frome in the southwest of England, approximately 190 kilometres west of London and 45 kilometres south of Gloucester, and is one of the most vibrant, culturally distinctive, and beloved cities in the United Kingdom — a historic port of enormous global significance, the birthplace of the transatlantic trade, a city of extraordinary engineering heritage, a world-renowned street art culture, and a progressive and creative community spirit that have made it consistently one of the most desirable places to live in Britain and a destination of genuine and irresistible character that rewards every visitor with a depth and originality that are entirely and proudly its own.
Bristol's maritime heritage is as rich and as morally complex as that of any city in Britain — the city's merchants and shipowners were among the most active participants in the transatlantic slave trade from the late seventeenth to the early nineteenth centuries, accumulating the wealth that built the Georgian terraces of Clifton and funded the civic institutions of a prosperous port city in a history whose full reckoning Bristol is confronting with increasing seriousness and honesty, most dramatically expressed in the toppling of the statue of slave trader Edward Colston into the harbour during the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests in an act that reverberated around the world. The city's seafaring legacy also encompasses the voyages of John Cabot, who sailed from Bristol in 1497 to reach North America just five years after Columbus, and the extraordinary engineering achievements of Isambard Kingdom Brunel, whose SS Great Britain — the world's first ocean-going propeller-driven iron steamship, now magnificently restored in the Great Western Dockyard — and the breathtaking Clifton Suspension Bridge spanning the Avon Gorge are two of the most significant engineering monuments in the world.
Bristol's contemporary cultural identity is shaped above all by its extraordinary street art scene — the city is the hometown of Banksy, the pseudonymous and globally celebrated street artist whose works appear on walls across Bristol and whose identity remains one of the most tantalizing mysteries in contemporary art, and whose influence has made Bristol a destination of pilgrimage for street art enthusiasts from around the world and a city whose public spaces are alive with murals, installations, and artistic interventions of exceptional quality and ambition. The Arnolfini contemporary arts centre, the Bristol Old Vic — the oldest continuously working theatre in the English-speaking world — and a thriving independent music scene that has produced Massive Attack, Portishead, and Tricky and given birth to the globally influential trip-hop genre give the city a cultural output that is extraordinary for its size.
Top attractions include the magnificent Clifton Suspension Bridge and the beautiful Georgian terraces of Clifton Village above the Avon Gorge, the SS Great Britain and the outstanding Being Brunel museum, the vibrant Harbourside with its outstanding M Shed museum of Bristol life, the colourful and bohemian Stokes Croft neighbourhood, the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery, and the world-famous Bristol International Balloon Fiesta each August — one of the largest hot air balloon events in Europe, filling the skies above Ashton Court with hundreds of brilliantly coloured balloons in a spectacle of colour and joy that perfectly captures Bristol's exuberant and creative spirit.
With its complex maritime heritage, breathtaking Brunel engineering, world-famous street art, oldest working theatre in the English-speaking world, trip-hop musical legacy, and a fiercely independent and creative community character that makes it one of the most loved and distinctive cities in Britain, Bristol is a southwest England city of extraordinary vitality and enduring originality.
Its airport code is BRS (Bristol Airport).
