🇬🇧 Bristol | UK’s "Mountain City" One-Day Adventure Guide

Think of Bristol as the British version of Chongqing—constant ups and downs, steep slopes, and endless stairs! Comfy shoes are a MUST 👟, as even a casual stroll feels like a workout. 🚌 Transport Tips We drove, but city center parking is pricey (£18+ for 4+ hours, plus a £9 Clean Air Fee 😱).
