My girlfriend and I decided to have a weekend off and visit a place we haven't been before. That place was Bristol. Of course the choice was not random. My girlfriend's sister was also going there from Spain to visit her husband. And having travelled around 3 hours we arrived in Bristol and found the quickest way to our hotel. We dropped the luggage and headed towards the center of the town with a map in the pocket. As I like to say now, Bristol turned out to be unexpectedly beautiful, diverse, modern and interesting. Huge churches, contemporary designed centre, historical sites, modern housing, shopping area, all in one.

One of the most interesting features of the city is the Millenium square. It's a stunning combination of water, glass, steel and lights. Put all that in a public square and you get a great place for everyone.
The whole central part of the city is a mixture of steel, glass, water and lights combined with different pavings all around the centre. Here are some examples:
I liked the Millenium square so much that we returned on the next day to take more pictures. We were very lucky to have a nice sunny day so here are some more photos:
After that we went to the Clifton Suspension Bridge. A huge bridge 74 m above the street and the river.
