Advantages: Green and beautiful

Disadvantages: Too hilly for cycling

I am not writing anything about Bristol that anyone can read in a guide book. I was not born there and I have not lived there in my whole life. I only lived there for 2.5 years, and I am glad I did.
It is beautiful, hilly and green. The river Avon meanders everywhere, giving the opportunity to cycle by it, or do some fishing or a bit of paddling.
It is possible to drive in green environment forever, while actually still staying within Bristol. So it is quite spacious to the North and East, in fact, I think in proportion, the city centre is a bit too small. Public transport is also worth mentioning. Let me just say that If you live in Bristol, you do need a car, or at least a bike, otherwise you are in serious trouble.
What I like in Bristol the most is that it is said to be the capital of trip hop. No wonder that the Massive Attack, Portishead & Friends aid concert for the victims of the Tsunami Disaster took place here a few years ago. Not to mention Tricky, and drum&bass DJ Roni Size, who are also from here.
Bristol is a music paradise, there are always festivals and concerts to go to.
Bristol is remarkable historically, too. Beautiful historic places and monuments, honestly, it is a fantastic place, a must see, especially in summer.

Summary: Must discover
