Bristol is a city straddling the River Avon in the southwest of England with a prosperous maritime history. Its former city-centre port is now a cultural hub, the Harbourside, where the M Shed museum explores local social and industrial heritage. The entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well here, cultivating a host of independent shops, restaurants, café and bars. The harbour’s 19th-century warehouses now contain restaurants, shops and cultural institutions such as the contemporary art gallery The Arnolfini. Bristol has a thriving current and historical arts scene.
