Outdoor activities in Bristol with tours or excursions

Bristol is young, high-spirited, diverse and full of history. In Bristol, over Bristol and around Bristol, an event takes place almost every day, especially in summer. There are tours that lead to the surrounding area and amaze. In August hundreds of balloonists meet for a gigantic festival in the air. There is at least as much to see on the ground. From street art to boat and bike tours to quaint nightlife. The oldest pub in Bristol is worth a trip to England alone.

On the high seas

In the port of Bristol, the famous Brunel ship, the SS Great Britain, takes its visitors in the form of a shipping museum into the days of English seafaring. The museum guides wear their historical clothing with awe. Harborside is also an anchor for hungry souls. On the other side of the river is the “Wapping Wharf” district, where you can enjoy a delicious meal. Restaurants of all flavors offer guests sensual days and evenings by candlelight and tasty home-brewed cider, the famous sparkling apple wine that can be ordered in every restaurant next to the beer, also freshly tapped by the tap.

Urban impressions

A few minutes from the city center, the “Cabot Tower” rises to a height of 32 meters. From there, the climber sees the whole city. Climbing up is what you long for a beautiful view. Steep steps are reminiscent of past adventures. Small private tours through the English city are offered, on which the visitor gets to know the diverse architecture. Bristol is a patchwork of historic buildings, modern construction, Norman architecture and Gothic flights of fancy. Special tours are offered within the city, aimed at interested visitors. For example, the Craft Beer Tour should be mentioned here, which means a short journey through the craft beer scene. The English beer that is connected to the city like its landmark.

Extraordinary

A bus tour through a piece of television history. The entire tour is commented and is peppered with unusual funny stories.
A hot air balloon flight from Ashton Court is at least as entertaining and a little more adventurous. Bristol from above shows a Bristol as it has emerged recently. The Clifton Suspension Bridge, which can be “cycled” by bike, also offers an extraordinary experience. The athlete has to pedal hard for 412 meters. After this effort it is time to rest. For this it goes on a detour to the sandy beach of Weston-Super-Mare. Relax, walk barefoot and eat fish and ships, everything works in Bristol at once.

On Tour

A street art tour of Bristol is a “must” for every visitor. Many famous artists have immortalized themselves here, some have lived and worked here. The “Castle Park” in the middle of the city is perfect for a break from work or as a place to relax. On a bench, surrounded by fragrant flowers and with a view of St. Peter’s Church, you can relax and forget the stress of everyday life for a short time. A boat tour is recommended for all those for whom the water is part of an excursion. Viewing the sights of the interesting city from the water is unforgettable. 16 different moorings are available and the duration of the trip on water is also variable. For example, the entire port can be reached in 80 minutes. The barges alone are a rustic, amusing experience. Inviting cafes and restaurants line up on the shore and tempt you to linger on the water after the tour.
