The Southwestern city of Bristol has an almost Mediterranean feel with its harbour-side location, playing host to some of the most vibrant, exciting venues in the South West. From theatre to cinema, restaurants, river cruises, breweries and clubs and not forgetting a total of 5 Bristol casinos to choose from, there is nothing lacking.

Recommended areas to spend time in Bristol include a varied comedy scene with some up and coming clubs and other established venues such as Jongleurs which attract the big names. Cinemas ranging from multiplex to smaller independent house are located at Watershed, the Harbour-side and Arnolfini. If it's live music you're after then Bristol is the place having strong musical links: Portishead, Massive attack and Roni Size all originate from Bristol. Colston hall is a must having played host in the past to names such as the Beatles and The Stones and it still pulls in the current big names. For a more refined evening why not try St George's, one of the UK's most elegant concert halls, presenting many different musical forms from opera to jazz.

Having a large youth population, the clubbing scene in Bristol is excellent, attracting many top DJs. The Harbourside, also home to the Gala Casino is one of the major attractions as are Park Street, Corn Street and the Old City.
