One of the symbols of Bristol - a must-see! Wills Memorial Building is an incredible place with stunning architecture and atmosphere. I went on a tour of the tower - a great experience! The tour guide was very enthusiastic and told many interesting facts about the building and its history. The view of the city from the top is amazing, especially beautiful when the sun goes down. Would recommend to anyone visiting Bristol - a real gem for tourists and locals alike!

Absolutely stunning place to visit. Would highly recommend anyone in Bristol to have a visit there. They have tours planned on Saturdays. They also do private tours. The main guide Garry is such a lovely gentleman who share so much about the place (I don't want to spoil the fun by sharing those here). If you are in Bristol, this is one of those places that you should not miss.

Splendid tower tour by fun and friendly guides. Since the price was £5, we expected a quick 15 minutes up and down the tower, and were happily surprised when it in fact turned out to be an hour and a half tour of the whole Wills Memorial Building. We got to learn about the history of the university, sit in Winston Churchill's chancellor chair, visit the bell tower and ring the bell, see many beautiful hidden chambers, and of course see the stunning view from the top of the tower - where you see all the way to Wales and the Severn Bridge on a good day. I cannot believe it took me over three years in Bristol to do this tour as this should be on everyone's top list, especially if you are a...

Ah, the double doors of doom! At least that is how they feel to many a student who will sit exams in there. Besides being a university building housing the law library, council chamber, and common rooms, it is also a centre for public events and there are many talks and careers fairs held here throughout the year. Some events are purely for students but there are many that are open to the public. There are tower tours too but I have not tried one because it seems a bit...
