Bristol is in the heart of the south west of England. It's not far from Wales as it is right next to the Severn Bridge that crosses into Wales. Bristol is from a small village of Pill on the southern side of the city to Filton which is on the northern side of bristol. The city is miles long and wide and there's a lot of traffic which can be expected.
In Bristol city centre, there is a fountain display which takes up quite a lot of space and it costed about 2 million pounds to build but it is nice to look at while driving past.
Opposite that is the Bristol Hipprodrome, the theatre. It regularly has great shows on and is very large but not as large as some of the theatre's in London as you can imagine.
At the back of the theatre is the Famous Colsten Hall which has famous acts such as Popstars where they do concerts, orchesters etc.
Not far from there, is the Ice Rink which has been there for years (my dad used to ice skate there when he was a boy, so thats years ago :) ), it used to have a cinema there as well but it was shut.
I'm not saying Bristol doesn't have a cinema, it has loads! The major one is called the IMAX theatre, and it has a whole different range of things there as well like a museum etc.
There are lots of Museums in Bristol as well, I haven't visited them so I can't really say about them.
There are shops all around Bristol (obviously) but there is a part of Bristol that is a shopping place called Broadmead. It has shopping malls, shops outside, cafe's, etc. There is a park and ride which takes you to there if you don't want to pay the expensive car park fee's or you don't want to battle with the traffic. But my favourite place to shop in Bristol isn't exactly in the centre or anything, it's on the outskirts called Cribbs Causeway. It's off the M5 motorway but is a big place to shop. There is a cinema there (a warner brothers one), a major supermarket (ASDA's superstore, one of two in the country), and there is a MASSIVE shopping mall (it's the shoppers heaven!!!) I have spent many days in there! In The Mall there must be about 1,500 shops plus a food court with about 7 or 8 different restaurants to choose from eg. Burger King, Pizza Hut. There mall has a lot of parking spaces but it can be quite busy say christmas time, or bank holidays. On the other side of bristol there is IKEA which is a good shop too.
In all I love Bristol it's got everything I could need!
