Question 3

Is Bristol walkable?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Bristol’s Old City, Harbourside, SS Great Britain, and the streets up Park Street to the museum and university are easy to explore on foot, though the hills can be steep. Clifton Village and the Suspension Bridge are a longer, uphill walk from the centre.

For longer hops, First Bus 8 or 9 goes to Clifton Village, and Metrobus m2 links Cabot Circus, the city centre, and the Harbourside. The Severn Beach Line train stops at Clifton Down for the Downs. If you want more comfort or plan day trips, a private tour in Bristol with private transportation works well.
