BRISTOL, UNITED KINGDOM

Strictly speaking, there isn't a city centre in Bristol—the River Avon and floating harbours carve the centre up into various parts. But rather than being a problem, this has meant each area has developed a distinctly different feel—and what better way to spend your time here than discovering what these are?

The Harbour

Against the backdrop of the harbour are bars, restaurants, cinemas and art galleries (The Arnolfini and Watershed), making this a great place for a stroll. It's also home to the award-winning attractions of the At-Bristol complex and is where you'll find Bristol Tourist Information Centre as well. Visible across the water is Bristol Industrial Museum and slightly further along the water's edge, are the city's two famous ships—The Matthew and SS Great Britain. In the summer, this area really comes alive and Bristolians like nothing better than to sit on the quayside, legs dangling over the edge of the water, enjoying a pint or a coffee. Take a trip around the water on one of the small ferries for the best view of it all.
