What to visit see and do with your Bristol van hire

The best way to explore Bristol is on foot, so be sure to pack comfortable shoes. Start your Bristol adventure in the historic Bristol Harbour. Here you'll find a variety of shops and restaurants, as well as the Bristol Aquarium. 

If you're feeling adventurous, you can even take a ride on the Bristol Ferry Boat. After exploring the harbour, head to Park Street for some retail therapy. Bristol is home to a number of independent shops, so you're sure to find something unique. 

For art lovers, there's the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery, which has a collection of Impressionist paintings, as well as Egyptian artifacts. Bristol is also home to the Bristol Zoo, one of the oldest zoos in the UK.

And of course, no visit to Bristol would be complete without taking a ride on the Bristol Ferry Boat. This boat ride offers stunning views of the cityscape, as well as a chance to see some of Bristol's famous landmarks, such as the Clifton Suspension Bridge.

When to organise your motorhome hire in Bristol

Bristol is a lively city with something to offer visitors all year round. However, there are certain times of the year when Bristol is particularly vibrant and lively, making it an ideal destination for a road trip or to stay in a campervan, motorhome or static caravan hire.

Summer is one such time, with plenty of outdoor activities to enjoy, from picnics in the park to boat trips on the River Avon. In August, during the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta, you can watch the colourful hot air balloons take to the skies. Another good time to visit Bristol is the Bristol Harbour Festival, which takes place in July and celebrates Bristol's maritime heritage.

If you want to relax, try spring or autumn, when the weather is mild and the crowds are thinner, but there's still plenty of outdoor activities on offer. Winter is also a magical time to enjoy Bristol's Christmas markets and festive lights.
