A bit of history

Bristol has been a major port since the 12th century, playing a key role in exploration and trade. The city was heavily bombed in WWII, leading to post-war redevelopment. The hop-on hop-off bus service started in the early 2000s to help tourists navigate the spread-out attractions.
