What to expect

Bristol doesn't just preserve its history, it reinvents it. This self-guided audio walking takes you through the heart of the city's Old City and medieval streets at your own pace.

Follow GPS-guided directions through 2,000 years of history. Discover how a small Anglo-Saxon river crossing grew into one of England's most important maritime cities. Learn about the medieval castle, the city's ancient walls, and the devastating wartime bombing that reshaped the centre overnight.

The tour weaves through historic markets, past famous street art, and along atmospheric waterfront streets. You'll hear stories of pirates, protests, and the city's complex trading past. You'll also discover how Bristol became the UK's craft beer capital, with recommendations for brilliant local pubs and breweries along the way.

The tour ends at the historic waterfront, where several independent venues are waiting to be discovered.
