About Bristol - Bristol is the largest centre of culture, employment and education in South West England. From its earliest days, its prosperity has been linked to that of the Port of Bristol. In more recent years the economy has been built on the aerospace industry and the city centre docks have been regenerated as a centre of heritage and culture.
Shopping - Shopping in Bristol offers plenty of choice, catering for all tastes and budgets. From shopping malls to chic boutiques and independent stores, Bristol is a shopaholic's dream destination. In the centre of Bristol is Broadmead, Bristol's main shopping centre, with all the familiar high street names and also specialist independent stores. Cabot Circus, Bristol's new £500m retail and leisure development, is the latest extension of the Broadmead shopping area, and has helped position Bristol as one of the UK's top shopping destinations.

Whether you're a culture vulture, a thrill-seeker or just after a relaxing break away from it all, this vibrant city has something for everyone.
