Where In The World

Things To Do

​Bristol is an incredibly funky, hip and young city. A huge aspect of the city is the university, so there are many young, lively people floating around.
  • The music and art scene is a focal point of the city, and creates an energetic and beautiful atmosphere.
  • Check out the Attic in Stokes Croft for live music and fun events.
  • Afterwards, thrift yourself a new wardrobe among the sea of vintage and second hand clothing stores, and finish your day with delicious tea and cakes from Cox and Baloney Tea Room.
  • Clifton Village is the center for higher end dining, beautiful scenery, and incredible coffee and baked goods.
  • Check out Spicer and Cole for amazing pastries and Clifton Coffee Roasters for a charming espresso.
  • Sit in the sun and people watch with locals for hours on beautiful Brandon Hill near central campus. 
  • Harbourside/City Centre features St. Nicholas Market for cuisines and goods from all over the world. The whole city is walkable, but hilly, so get ready to do some climbing.
  • There are tons of street food, street festivals, fairs, and music events pretty much all the time—there is never a dull moment.
  • The weather is manageable, and does not rain as much as it does in Chico (what??).
  • Bristol is also 2 hours away from London by train, so if you’re feeling adventurous and rich, London awaits!

In all, Bristol is a captivating, underrated, easy-going, beautiful, unique, and hip city. Do yourself a favor and go!
