General Information

Bristol is a city, unitary authority and ceremonial county in the South West of England, 185 km west of London.

History

Bristol's history dates back to the 11th century, when the town of Brycgstow was built in its place, which in Old English meant "a place near the bridge". During the Norman rule, one of the largest castles in southern England was built here.

In the 14th century, Bristol, along with York and Norwich, was one of the three largest English medieval cities after London. The plague of Black Death in the years 1348 - 1349, during which a third to a half of the population died, caused a significant decline in the population to about 10 - 12,000, and this number persisted for most of the 15th and 16th centuries.

In 2018, several buildings were damaged by an earthquake in the city.

Bristol - Quick guide

From a tourist point of view, Bristol is perhaps a bit in the shadow of the more famous British cities. There is not the slightest reason for this. Not only was he recently voted the best place to live in the UK in a poll by The Sunday Times, but his relaxed atmosphere, which combines history with the present, will also captivate the short-term visitor.

Interesting facts

From the meeting of the then unknown writer and chronically famous traveler in the Bristol pub The Llandoger Trow, one of the most fundamental works of adventure literature of all time was born. The two men were novelist Daniel Defoe and adventurer Alexander Selkirk, who spent four years as a castaway on a desert island. His story inspired Defo to write Robinson Crusoe.
