Top 10 Museums in Bristol, England
Bristol is a quirky British city with beautiful hilly vistas and plenty of historic sights to explore. Anyone interested in ships will have a blast aboard Brunel’s SS Great Britain, the world’s first great oceanliner, and the Matthew, a replica of the ship upon which John Cabot sailed to America in the 15th century. The graceful Clifton Suspension Bridge is another must-see.

Definitely a must visit to anyone very interesting indeed There’s a museum first then onto the ship see the first class / other class, kitchen, engine room You can also go up the mast for a extra £10, then finishes of go into the dry dock itself. If you book your tickets online you get 5% discount But I recommend this to anyone

Fabulous shop in Stokes Croft Bristol, just a stones throw walk from the centre & in a part of the city where independent retailers & artists are celebrated. Amazingly friendly & helpful staff who create a lovely vibe, as well as the owner being a fabulous artist herself, with a wide range of her designs also featuring in the shop. Cannot recommend more if you live nearby, are visiting Bristol or happen to walk past. A must to pop in & take a look at all Neon Tiger has to offer.

Suggested donation to enter, no issue with that, you receive a map and further literature regarding other exhibitions within the museum. Plenty of staff around to ask questions if needed and a great cafe on the ground floor. I especially enjoyed the Egyptian display and spent most of my time studying the artifacts. Overall a great museum with a variety of displays to suit all tastes. There is also a multi storey carpark at trenchard street which is a five minute walk away.
