Incredible streetfood selection. Every stall is a banger. Half of my placement wage went on rent in Bristol, this is where the other half went.
Reasonably priced, unreasonably tasty burgers.
Good Italian food.
Expensive but vibrant part of Bristol's nightlife. The Volunteer, Small Bar, Beer Emporium are all cool. The Apple at the end has ridiculously strong cider and a good waterfront view.
Cheap pub in city centre.
Infamous club in Bristol that hosts 'bigger' nights if that is your thing. Right next to the train station if you are passing by ;)
Cosy cat pub. Small place that gets busy so I recommend going at a less common time.
Live the Skin's life and check out the awesome view here.
Cool spot to rent DVDs just like the old days. Hosts movie nights if you are keen and good place to get weird recommendations and/or you are looking for something hard to find.
Unfortunately the £5 book shop (was £3 when I arrived in Bristol!) but still good value for money. They sell excess stock so you can find new books for a great price here.
Its SECRET! Easy to miss cafe that has a lovely garden.
The first thing that comes up when you look up 'Bristol things to do' but yes, if you are reading this and have not been... what are you doing?!
Across the bridge are some nice woods to walk through. A nice route is to walk to the end and loop back alongside the Avon. Lots of cool art on the way.
Grand estate with deer. Site of Bristol Balloon Festival.
Well-kept botanical gardens which are a little out of the way but worth the trip. Free for students.
Cute farm and cuter animals.
Goats and views, need I say more?
Train makes this an easy day out, wouldn't pack any towels though.
Concert hall in city centre. Allegedly where all the council tax went.
Things I don't think are worth your time.
First ever Wetherspoons I've had to pay entry to go inside. Might as well have thrown that money into the water. Dancefloor opens on Saturday night.
A LEGO store is the only redeeming part of this place.
