Discover Bristol
Bristol. Your new home.
Bristol is a city that's famous for its rebellious streak, independent thinking, and edgy creativity. What's more, it's a welcoming place to be and great place to work, with polls to prove it:
- best place to live (Sunday Times, 2017)
- best city for job opportunities (Royal Mail, 2018)
- one of the best cities to visit (Independent, 2019).
A city booming with potential, it's the perfect place to discover yours.

We’re proud to call one of the UK’s most diverse, exciting and forward-thinking cities home – and you can, too. Current student Eden explains.
