The City Docks provide some of the best restaurants in town; the backdrop of the River Avon and countless array of boats make it an idyllic setting. The historic Harbourside has undergone serious redevelopment in the last 10 years, with warehouses and factories being transformed into galleries, arts centres, clubs and wine bars.


The impressive At-Bristol Centre in Millenium Square is a must for adults and children alike. Science comes to lifewith over 300 hands on exhibits to explore, as well as a massive dome shaped Planetarium. The Arnolfini is one of Europe’s leading centres for contemporary art, presenting a range of mediums by which the self is expressed – be it through dance, theatre performance or film.
The Bristol Ferry Boat Company is the perfect way to admire the sights of the city by water. Gliding past vibrantly coloured houses on Hotwells and converted warehouses now home to Britain’s first Media Centre, the Watershed, it’s a wonderful chance to explore Bristol from a different perspective.

Shipshape Magazine is dedicated to celebrating all this vibrant area has to offer. A celebration of both the old and the new, this historic area is a must see for visitors to the area.
