Bristol is the capital city of England's West Country. Built around an inland harbour on a series of hills there's loads of history and beautiful buildings. This is now one cool city, laid back and friendly with a happening vibe. This is where Massive Attack own a nightclub, the skateboarding capital of England. If you want to meet friendly, unstressed locals with an educated and fun outlook on life this is the place. A bit like a mini London without the hassle. Really useful site to check out is www.visitbristol.co.uk. Links to cheap Bristol Backpackers etc.
