Bristol Travel Info, Cheap Flights & Holiday Travel Packages
One of the best kept travel secrets in the UK,
bustling, beautiful Bristol is positively bursting with things to see
and do. Bristol is small enough to easily explore, yet large enough to
offer something for everyone. Most locations in central Bristol (the Harbourside
and Old City areas) are walkable, and the city centre features walking
routes along quaysides and pedestrianised central streets. The Bristol
travel packages available through Direct Flights will let
you explore all that the city and the surrounding area have to offer.
Bristol is a vibrant city with beautiful architecture, a wide range of hotels and restaurants, a choice of theatres and extensive shopping opportunities, all waiting for travellers on holiday in Bristol. An ancient harbour city that's full of history and atmosphere, Bristol is also contemporary, cosmopolitan and sophisticated.
As part of your discount travel to Bristol, you can stroll nature trails along lakes, enjoy theatre productions, see live acts at various comedy clubs, and attend concerts at St George's, one of the UK's finest concert halls. Bristol's scenic harbourside area features lively shops and restaurants, as well as exciting visitor attractions. While you're at the harbour, take a boat cruise. The "floating harbour" is interwoven with the city centre and is the jewel in Bristol's crown, with many of the city's attractions on or very close to the harbour.

Cotswolds and the Mendips are just outside Bristol. Exmoor National Park,
Dorset, Devon, the Forest of Dean and the fabulous Brecon Beacons of Wales
are also close to the city. And if you'd like to travel further afield,
