Bristol

Brilliant Bristol brings culture, great experiences and everything you need in one city. From the harbour, to the shopping centres and pubs and spas. Plenty of transport including Uber's, and good patrol of the city so you feel safe. Would recommend a visit to anyone looking for a great day out or a new adventure :)

Bristol is an overall great city with a variety of clubs for everyone, and a good offering of good and shopping (especially with newer shops popping up at the Cabot Circus, the main shopping centre). Food wise - there's a good choice around, but some Asian cuisines are notably either hard to find, or sub-par. Props to Kansai Kitchen as the best Japanese food in Bristol, but an overall poor showing of Japanese or Korean food in Bristol. Transport is unfortunately quite spotty, with traffic and slow changing of drivers in the city centre. Going to 'further out' areas in Bristol by public transport can take more than double the amount of time it would take by car. Bristol is not by any means a cheap city, but is definitely not London-level expensive! Eating out is always going to be more expensive than in, but there's a range of food and activities in Bristol for a decent price.

Bristol is a gorgeous city full of life and culture. Whether you want nights out, coffee dates, independent stores or aesthetic restaurants this city has it all. The Christmas Market is amazing and harbourside is a beautiful place for a walk or a meal out any time of the year. My favourite thing about Bristol is it doesn't have the big, crowded feel most cities do. It has everything cities have that make them great but feels as friendly as a town.

Bristol is an amazing town to visit and live with night life being good and the food available at Bristol being phenomenal, particularly in Cabot circus there is a good range of places to eat within close range of each other so your never have lack of choice. Bristol harbour is also amazing with Bristol harbour festival happening every year which brings all the locals and people outside Bristol together. Areas are being redeveloped rapidly for example Wapping Wharf well known for new trendy food places and small shops. Shopping in Bristol is also great with Cabot circus being predominant including lots of good shops for youth such a urban outfitters and Monki. As well as many shoe shops for all age groups

Lovely and lively place to live. Lots of interesting things to do, and activities that appeal to a variety of people. Bristol is a very quirky place to live and has a cool music and art scene. The city centre is big and has a wide range of big name shops as well as locally owned ones.

Nights out are insane! There is so much variety so whatever music your into there's something for you! As for the shopping that's also amazing! Depending on whether you live city centre or a bit further out it can literally be a 2 minute walk to one of the best shopping centres in the country.

Everything is good, despite the city is small I find it equipped with full range of necessities. The transport is great as if cover quite a lot of places but sometimes it annoys me that the public buses would be cancelled at last minute especially during night time which I find it quite disappointing. Aside from the public transportation I like the vibe of the city. Eating out is one of the good choice as student discounts are most of the time available for claim. If not ordering food online is also quite convenient as the delivery service are effective, overall.

The city of Bristol is full of life, energy and happy vibes. All the people seem utterly friendly. Best of all is the food, as it appears Bristol is a city with all the best Burger places to offer! So much choice and such unique ideas. But one of the best parts about Bristol is that you can walk 10 minutes out of the city and be in peace. Field upon field and surrounded by trees and morning dew, which is ideal for those who are true country girls at heart. All of these reasons are why Bristol is my favourite place to be in the UK.

In short: Fun, vibrant and dynamic There's always something to do in Bristol. Love nature? There's plenty of green space within the city. Feeling cultural? Museums and historic sites are plenty. You've got the ultimate photogenic spot at the clifton observatory as well. Fancy a night out? You're spoiled for choice. From the smaller, local acts to big MCs and DJs passing through the city, Bristol is blessed with an incredible night life. As you can tell, I love this city.

Bristol is the encapsulation of the meaning of diversity. It is a multi-cultured city without any doubts, partially due to the presence of two universities, which means more international people coming to it. Moreover, there's a lot of freedom in the sense that you can really express yourself, your style and the way you think, which is great. More generally speaking, it is a calm city. The community itself is pretty friendly. It is obviously smaller than cities as London, but still it offers a lot I would say especially if you are looking for careers in IT and finance. When it comes to shopping and necessities, it is pretty centralised I think. If you need something, you have to go to the centre necessarily or order online. When it comes to entertainment , it's pretty interesting as a city, you can always find something to do, there are always events and markets going on during the whole week. As regards the nightlife, you can a wide variety of pubs and clubs, some cheaper than others. Most of them are really good for a night out with friends. And when it comes to food, you have the embarrassment of choosing from different restaurants with different cuisines. In case you are craving more than one cosmo and za za bazaar are the place for you. Last point, the transport in the city though is really bad, always late and never punctual.

Bristol is a vibrant city with lots of different and unique areas which I've loved exploring! There are so many great places to eat, even if it is a little expensive.

Bristol is the place to be. Great city- fab theatres, myriad of restaurants, happening clubs all in an air of sophistication. The place to be!

Vibrant and student friendly city. Less crowded than London. If you like some greenery then this is the place to be. Lovely attractions such as the harbourside and the suspension bridge. Cute little cafes to have a nice breakfast or brunch. Prices are reasonably fair on nights out or in restaurants.

there is very good shopping and lots of restaurants to eat at, the nights out are also amazing. Bristol is an amazing place to live and it's fairly good value for money!

Great city, lots of nice local places to eat and drink and lots of independent shops. There is lots going on in Bristol with events such as festivals, markets etc happening most weekends. It is easy to get to green spaces with lots of nice areas to visit for walks nearby. Living costs are higher than other cities but in my opinion it is worth it.

Bristol definitely has the food section covered. There are loads of places to dine and have coffee. Something for everyone. Nights out in Bristol are good too. Loads of bars to have drinks at! The music scene at the clubs tends to mostly be rave/house music. Everyone now and then they have dancehall/bashment/reggaeton nights but they are rare. Most clubs have a r&b room which ends up playing top 40 music 3hrs in so that's a bit disappointing. The outskirts of Bristol i.e Filton don't have as many restaurants of delivery options for takeout available despite having a university there. Overall Bristol is great but there's always room for improvement.

Bristol is a wonderful city, especially students. It is vibrant city that's full of life. It has a wide variety of restraurants as well as lots of activities.

Bristol is a lively city with nice people and just about everything you need. Its not too crowded like london but not boring either! theres a huge nightlife scene because it's a university student city. Theres also shopping and like i said, everything you need. Great restaurants also however, theres a lack of halal restaurants for the muslims here. Bristol is hilly, so its good exercise as well!

Decent clubs, can be a glam or dressed down night. Loads of shopping and plenty of restaurants, pubs and bars too. Easy access transport, always something to do.

Nights out in Bristolarw brilliant, the food restaurants are good my personal favourite is za za bazar and the shopping is good

I am an Erasmus student living in Bristol and it has been by far a great choice. It's a vibrant and super artistic city. You can't get bored in here because there are tons of things to do : concerts, art exhibitions, theme parties, cool cafes, vintage stores...And when the sun is out, omg, that's another level!!

Bristol is a diverse and vibrant city. It is a brilliant city that caters well for students from the investment into new student accommodation to the variety of clubs such as Motion which is the 16th best in the world. The biggest shortfalls of Bristol are the extortionate prices for private rent, the unreliability of public transport and the traffic congestion, particularly in the city centre and on the M32 in and out of Bristol.

I was initially reluctant to live in Bristol, having hoped to move to London. Having been here for just under 2 months now, I love it here. Cabot circus has loads of shops, notably pull and bear and monki, offering student-friendly clothing prices whilst being in fashion. Bristol night life is also good fun - having not been out before moving here, I've been to Thekla, Omg, Lizard lounge and mbargo so far and they are all very diverse, so there's something for everyone! Also the spoons' are all great - sometimes does take a while to get served but the staff do work hard. Cribbs causeway is also good for shopping and food - there is something for everyone. There is so much more of Bristol for me to explore, but going to see the Clifton suspension bridge has been a highlight so far! Theres so much going on here, I don't feel like I'm missing out on London life as I think Bristol is up and coming!! (Also uber is a huge perk of living here - super quick and efficient, and reasonably priced!) ((Busses can be hit and miss, sometimes just decide not to turn up - I have also been charged adult rather than student on more than one occasion when I'd had a couple drinks - when with showing a student ID))

Bristol is a good city. People are friendly and always willing to help. City is clean and green . The parks are amazing and perfect place to go during the summer . There're a lot of store every where and very convenient to get anything at anytime.
