00:16Bristol has many tourist attractions to celebrate this year.
00:20Let's find out what attractions locals like the most in the city.
00:24The Clifton Observatory,
00:27looking at the suspension bridge,
00:31it's really lovely, especially on a sunset,
00:35and also a sunrise.
00:39Yeah, that's what I would say, actually.
00:43Well, anything around Clifton suspension bridge,
00:47that's number one. Obviously historical and beautiful.
00:51Vibrant parts of the society.
00:55Definitely, well,
00:59Cottontail is new, not in here.
01:03According to Visit England, Bristol is also well known for Brunel's elegant Clifton
01:07suspension bridge, as Banksy's art street work,
01:11and also not forgetting Aardman creators Plaster, Wallace and Gromit.
01:15From wildlife parks, aquariums to maritime icons and museums,
01:19Bristol is packed with tourist attractions all over the city.
01:23I've been living in Bristol for the last 17 years,
01:27which is pretty amazing
01:31as a French citizen.
01:35And it has been voted the kindest city
01:39in the UK, I've heard through the Guardian newspaper
01:43a few weeks ago. And it's true that
01:47I must admit that
01:51there's a lot of greenery, a lot of greens around,
01:55and parks and the trees are a huge part of Bristol.
01:59Well, it brings the money. At the moment we have all the students here,
02:03the city is busting with young people,
02:07and they're all enjoying their life,
02:11and also there's so much to do.
02:15According to Visit Bristol, no visit to Bristol would be complete without a visit to the Victorian
02:19Clifton. Explore the cabins, scrub the deck,
02:23or learn more about its passengers throughout history.
02:27This wonderfully restored vessel offers hours of entertainment.
02:31Included in the same ticket, Museum Being Brunel's
02:35celebrates the life work of the great engineer,
02:39with plenty of interactive exhibitions and games.
02:43Another top tourist destination is another of Brunel's masterpieces,
02:47the Clifton Suspension Bridge that spans Avon Gorge.
02:51Many enjoy the views of the bridge from the Clifton Observatory,
02:55which also often hosts films, musics and live theatre events.
