Why go

The motorway junctions make Bristol straightforward to approach from several directions, but reaching the centre is a different task from reaching the edge of the city. The M32 points towards central Bristol, while Park and Ride can let you finish by public transport. Choose your arrival side and parking plan together to avoid an unnecessary cross-city drive.

Useful to know

  • Choose a car park or current Park and Ride site before leaving the motorway.
  • Check present road restrictions and traffic conditions for your arrival route.
  • If your stay centres on the Old City and Harbourside, park once and explore those areas on foot.
