Bristol

The buzzing city of Bristol is full of restaurants and clubs, with many centred around the revitalised harbourside area.

The Harbourside's top attraction is the magnificent Explore-At-Bristol, which has over 300 interactive exhibits and fascinating exhibitions, bringing a wealth of scientific knowledge to life for all ages. Watch a Planetarium show, join in with fun experiments, freeze your shadow, walk through a tornado, or even take a tour around the human brain - there's no end to the fun, scientific discoveries that await! For information call: 0845 345 1235 or visit www.at-bristol.org.uk

Bristol Zoo, which was voted Zoo of the Year 2004, has breathtaking underwater seal and penguin coasts and Zona Brazil which simulates the coastal rainforests of South America. (0117 974 7300/www.bristolzoo.org.uk)

Other Bristol attractions include the award-winning British Empire and Commonwealth Museum, which brings to life Britain's dramatic 500-year colonial history in a very imaginable and accessible way. The fascinating (and free!) City Museum and Art Gallery features everything from Egyptology and Impressionist painting.

To get a feel of the city, hop on a harbour ferry and see Bristol from the water, or take an open-top bus tour that stops at all the major attractions.

Bath is only 12 minutes from Bristol by train, and Cardiff just a short hop across the spectacular Severn Bridge. Glastonbury, the South Cotswolds, and the Somerset countryside and coast are all within a short drive of the city.
