Bristol is truly a shopping lover’s dream. You could easily spend an entire day making your way around town looking at all of the different stores and their offerings. Even if you don’t have any money to spend, there is always plenty of window shopping to be done in Bristol. If you’re looking to spend your time in a big shopping mall, you’re in luck because Bristol has two. Cabot Circus is a great place to find all of the newest and trendiest clothes sold by big name retailers. And if Cabot Circus isn’t enough of a variety for you to spend all of your earnings in, you can head over to the Mall at Cribbs. The Mall at Cribbs is easily a full day event with over a hundred different stores sprawled out over two levels. You’ll find all of your favorite stores as well as a few surprises.

Navigating away from the shopping malls, you may want to head to either Park Street or Clifton Village where you’ll find plenty of boutique shops with everything from the newest fashions to antique shops with hidden gems. You will also find a plethora of record stores and electronics stores as you make your way down the hidden alleys and streets. Once you’re done buying a new wardrobe, you can grab a bite to eat in one of the many restaurants and cafes that line Park Street. Even if you don’t make it that far, the shopping malls listed above also have their own fair share of eateries.

Bristol holidays are not often considered to be holidays with a great deal of travel involved from day to day; and due to the fact the airport is hardly a great distance away from the tourist areas you may not be considering Bristol airport car hire. You’d certainly expect to spend your time on the beach or in the arcades or clubs right? And whilst these are normally, relatively close by to the hotels etc, even if the town of Bristol itself is far enough from the coast to warrant renting a car, many people do not realise this until they get there. With the distance between the town and seaside not being incredibly small this in itself is reason enough to hire a car, beaches and busses have never really been a fantastic combination. The reason many people make the assumption that Bristol is so close to the beach is quite probably due to the fact the Bristol Channel is the name given to the waters closest to Bristol. So it wouldn’t be a daft thought to assume that Bristol is entirely a coastal region.

However there are much more things to do around Bristol than the obvious and stereotype Bristol holiday, which if we’re perfectly honest doesn’t have a great reputation in the UK. Although, much has changed since the 90′s horror shows which were British seaside breaks, so it would be unfair to continue to tar all towns like Blackpool, Rhyl and the likes with the same brush. Bristol has in recent times become a bit of a shopping break powerhouse after several developments which together with the distance of the beaches are of course a fantastic reason to hire a car. So, you may as well invest in some Bristol airport car hire.
