Advantages: Easy to navigate, great food, lots to do.

Disadvantages: Expensive.

Bristol is a great city with a plethora of things to see and do, and is especially great in the summer! There's the harbour festival, the balloon fiesta and all manner of other events that take place throughout the summer season. However, it's not a seasonal city and there is always something to see or do.

Bristol encapsulates a huge amount of history, and there are a huge number of historic buildings to visit for those who enjoy architecture, or taking a good photo. There's Cabot Tower, on Brandon Hill which is great for picnics, Wills Memorial and the Clifton Suspension Bridge to name but a few.

Bristol is a city full of cafes and bars, from your favourite chains such as Starbucks and Wagamamas, to a huge number of independent restaurants. There's something for all tastes and all pockets. The shopping is also great, with small independent boutiques, vintage shops and the commercial chains and high street stores that you see everywhere.

Living in the centre can be expensive, but there are houses that'll suit any budget. The Clifton area of the city is largely taken over by Students, however in the holidays it becomes a peaceful place to live.

Public transport is reasonably good in Bristol, if a little pricey, however the buses are reliable, and there are many small train stations dotted around which allow easy transport to the main station at Temple meads and to places such as Bath.

Bristol is a great city, there's definitely something for everybody!

Summary: Bristol: something for everybody.
