Getting Around Bristol: Boat
Full Bristol Travel Guide » Bristol Interactive Map » Print This Article »
Because of the way the city centre is intimately interwoven with the old 'floating harbour', a boat is a good way of getting around as well as seeing a lot of interesting sights. Bristol Ferry Boat www.bristolferry.com runs several ferry services around the harbour, stopping at various quays on route, and even providing a commuter service between the city centre and the main rail station.
The Bristol Packet www.bristolpacket.co.uk offer city docks tours with commentaries daily during school holidays and at weekends throughout the year. They also run regular excursions to riverside tea gardens on the Avon towards Bath and Avon Gorge cruises under the Clifton Suspension Bridge to Avonmouth and back.

Number Seven Boat Trips www.numbersevenboattrips.co.uk also offer a ferry service during the summer months.
Bristol City Council offers a useful walking and public transport journey planner at www.travelbristol.org. Bristol is quite a hilly city, but if you don't mind walking up hills the walk can be pleasant on a fine day.
