Bristol is a large and vibrant city located in South West England. Its history goes back all the way to the iron age, when hill forts dominated the landscape. Bristol would rise to great importance with the beginning of the Age of Exploration. Starting with the 15th century, people would set out from Bristol to explore the Americas. The first Englishman to lead an exploration to North America was William Weston from Bristol. On a darker note, at the height of the Bristol slave Trade in the 18 century, thousand of slave ships would transport untold numbers of people from Africa to slavery in the Americas.
Although the city was overtaken in many ways by Manchester and Liverpool at the beginning of the Industrial revolution, it managed to become one of the most popular tourist destinations in the UK. In 2015 Bristol won the EU’s European Green Capital Award and the city is constantly in the top lists of best places to live. So as one can see, visiting this beautiful port city is a must. As Bristol has lots to offer from museums, like the Bristol Industrial Museum, to landmarks such as the Wills Memorial Building, the Clifton Suspension Bridge or the Saint Mary Redcliffe Church, it’s best if one can achieve a little order in one’s schedul.
