Location information for Bristol

Bristol, located at 105 miles west of London, is one of the most populated cities in the southwest of England, and a main centre for employment, education and culture. The city is located in its own area that previously was part of Avon, which no longer exists. Bristol has a great historical heritage that dates to the time when it was controlled by the Bishops of Durham, known as the Prince Bishops.

This great cosmopolitan city boasts of a vast array of interesting places and activities to keep you busy for the whole period of your stay. Bristol has a great choice of accommodation including spas, five-star hotels and cheap accommodation from where you can easily tour around the city by budget car rental and enjoy what it has to offer.

The city is rich in history, culture and art, and you can enjoy its many sites around town by cheap car hire in Bristol. The city boasts of a great variety of museums, churches and cathedrals, art galleries, and theatres. If you are a lover of comedy, dance, poetry and music, then the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Theatre is a must for you to visit. The theatre has a 220-seat auditorium offering daily shows every evening.

Other places of general interest for you to consider during your stay in the city that is easily accessible with cheap car hire in Bristol are Bristol Zoo, which was inaugurated in 1836 and is located in Guthrie Road. The zoo is an award-winning landmark and the world's oldest provincial zoo. Just a stone's throw from Bristol Bridge is St Nicholas Market, a popular shopping spot divided into three zones; one covered area; one exchange hall and one glass arcade.

The best time to visit the UK is during the season of July to August (summer season) and Bristol, being the capital of hot-air ballooning, is host to the famous Bristol International Balloon Fiesta, the biggest balloon celebration in Europe, during August. You can certainly enjoy interesting hot air balloon exhibitions and even take balloon flights by making reservations through local air-balloon companies.
