A Message From The Activities Coordinator

Bristol is the city of bridges, balloons, boats, bikes, Brunel and Banksy. Yes we like the letter ‘b’ here. There isn't just one great thing about Bristol, there are lots and lots! From its friendly people and fantastic music scene to its vibrant harbourside, green spaces and buzzing centre there really is something for everyone. Part of my job as the EF Bristol Activities Coordinator is to act as the local city insider and guide students around Bristol's hub of contemporary culture, as well as offer guidance on Bristol, the UK and Europe. I hope the following information gives you some insight into the buzzing city of Bristol!

The amazing range of shops - from the world famous Harvey Nichols to the second largest Primark in the country - means that whatever you're looking for, you're sure to find it in the centre of Bristol.

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

• f Broad Street, Corn Street, St Nicholas

Market, King Street & Welsh Back remain much the same today as they were hundreds of years ago.

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. An attractive, modern development the harbourside is 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.

Clifton is reputed as being one of the best addresses in the city, and is a must-see area for visitors to the city. It has a great selection

cosy cafes and classy restaurants. You can wander the leafy Georgian crescents or take a stroll across Brunel's Clifton Suspension Bridge for a breathtaking view of the city.

Stokes Croft attracts visitors because of 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. 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.

Full of independent shops, restaurants, bars, markets, theatre, urban art and city farms this is a lively area popular with local Bristolians and city dwellers. This area is home to Europe's largest Street Art and Graffiti Festival, Upfest, and Ashton Gate Stadium; the Bristol City Football Club and Bristol Rugby ground.
