Banksy's street art appears on unexpected corners while harbourside cranes have transformed into luxury apartments and museums. The SS Great Britain, once the world's largest ship, now offers fascinating tours of Victorian engineering. Wander St Nicholas Market for artisanal treats before catching cutting-edge performances at the Old Vic Theatre. The colourful houses of Clifton provide perfect backdrops for Instagram moments. Bristol Aquarium and We The Curious offer family-friendly diversions when rain inevitably appears. For the best views, climb Cabot Tower in Brandon Hill park – it's free and the panorama explains why Bristolians are so smug about their hometown.
