When to Visit Bristol, United Kingdom

One of the sunniest cities in the UK, Bristol enjoys warm, sunny summers and cool, cloudy winters. For the most pleasant weather, plan your visit during July or August, when temperatures usually reach the low 70s. Hotel prices are generally highest in summer, however, so plan your visit during the spring or fall if you want to see sunny skies without breaking the bank. If you don't mind some clouds and temperatures in the 40s, visit during the winter, Bristol's off-season.

As such a festival-friendly city, you might want to plan your visit around one of Bristol's many special events. Mark your calendar for mid-May and attend the Foodies Festival at The Downs, where the city's top chefs demonstrate their culinary magic. In July, don't miss the NASS Festival, an action-packed event with live music and BMX competitions. In August, the colorful Bristol International Balloon Fiesta lights up the skies and offers plenty of family-friendly fun.

From maritime history to contemporary art, Bristol has something for everyone. Don't miss your chance to visit this hotspot in the United Kingdom's West Country.

'Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little things, in which smiles and kindness, and small obligations given habitually, are what preserve the heart and secure comfort.
Sir Humphry Davy, one of the most revered scientists of all time, wrote these words in a bid to elucidate his views on what makes one's life worth the while spent doing things of import and things of no meaning, things of gravity and things of no consequences. 

Sir Davy was born in Bristol and spent much of his later life there. This little insight into his thinking might tell us what values the city of Bristol takes pleasure in complying with. 
Bristol of today is a megapolis with approximately half a million people calling it her their home. It is the second most heavily populated city in the South of England, second only to London. It is also a major cultural, tourism, educational and industrial hub, with all the facilities that a city of 21st century should possess.

Tourism in Bristol has taken off quite headily in last three to four decades or so, as tourism revenue generated in the city during these decades has steadily risen at an astonishingly high rate of over 15% each year. In 2014, over 3 million tourists are estimated to have visited Bristol, for purely tourism reasons. 

If Bristol has struck your fancy and you wish to visit there sooner rather than later, this little run down of hotels in Bristol will help you get an idea about the hospitality scene here. 

Affordable Hotels in Bristol 

The total number of Bristol hotels exceeds 300 mark quite easily. Considering the overall activity that this city endures, it would be clear to seasoned travelers that Bristol is home to many cheap hotels that can help tourists cut down on their travel expenses with ease. 

A cheap hotel of this kind, however, will not be able to provide you the kind of comfort or luxury that you might wrongly expect from it. Most of them, however, will definitely provide a safe and cosy place to crash at night. 
Victoria Square Hotel is a representative of all such cheap hotels. Located centrally, Victoria Square is famous for its simple outlook and neat, clean rooms that exude homely warmth.

Ibis operates 2 budget establishments in Bristol under the names Ibis Bristol Centre and Ibis Bristol Meads Quay. Avon Gorge Hotel is also a great option if you love American-styled motel-outlook of a hotel room. 

Opulent Hotels in Bristol 

If living on a tight shoestring budget is not really your idea of a great trip to Bristol, then you can easily move on to more opulent hotels in Bristol that allow you to relax, rejuvenate and let go of all the stress and tensions that a modern lifestyle brings in as a side effect. 

Hotel the Bristol is perhaps the most easily recognisable hotel in this segment. Located in the very heart of the city centre, it is an antique property that is known to have hosted the likes of John Lennon and Marlene Dietrich. 

In the city centre, there are two more luxury establishments that are quite popular for their extreme comfort levels and a host of amenities they accord to their guest. These are: Novotel Bristol City Centre and Holiday Inn Bristol City Centre. 

Sightseeing Around Bristol? Read This!

Sightseeing around Bristol can be a monotonous affair if all you focus on is some time out in the sunshine by one of many beaches that Bristol is blessed with. There are a few sights that you might add to your roster in order to make it more encompassing, diverse and interesting. 

Clifton suspension bridge is one among these sights. It's not a magnificent bridge like the Golden Gate of San Francisco, but it still has its charm of English architecture. The Brunel's SS Great Britain, parked permanently at Bristol dock, is turned into a naval museum that you can spend one evening visiting. 

Wills Memorial Building and Cabot Towers are two more culturally and historically interesting sights that will make your trip to Bristol a multi-dimensional and engaging one. 

Hotels Near Airport in Bristol 

The Bristol International Airport is usually not the first choice point of entry for tourists visiting Bristol. Most of them choose to land in London and hail a bus or cab straight down to Bristol. 

That said, there are a few tourists who have further journey planned out from Bristol, and for them, it is a reasonably sound idea to hunt for cheap Bristol hotels that will offer convenience as well as affordability. 

Bristol Int. Airport is located just outside the city limits of Bristol, at an approximated distance of 10 km. So, arriving in Bristol city centre is not really a troublesome prospect, even if you land at the Bristol Int. Airport. Hence, the whole business of trying to narrow your hotel search down based on the distance of a hotel from the airport will ultimately turn out to be a pointless one. 

Perfect Time to Travel to Bristol 

From a wider point of view, the best and the most ideal time to travel to Bristol will be all year round, excluding winter months. This means that most of spring and summer present a pleasant prospect, weather wise. From April to late August can be your best bet if you are traveling to Bristol just for sightseeing. Warm and balmy weather will allow you to explore the city on foot, as well! 

That said, it should also be noted that May and June are two of the busiest months in Bristol, marking the height of summer with many food and music festivals. So, if you choose these months for your trip to Bristol, you will have to ensure that you have planned your tour really well, including advance hotel bookings. Being left high and stranded in beautiful sunny May just because there are no hotel rooms available will be a sure fire trip spoiler.
