Driving and parking in Bristol

A car can help with trips beyond Bristol, but central sightseeing needs a parking plan. Park and Ride is one option for reaching the centre without driving through its busiest streets.

Why go

Driving is most useful when the day's destination lies outside the walkable Harbourside and Old City. For a centre-focused visit, the harder question is where to leave the car and how to finish the journey. Bristol's Park and Ride sites offer a way to make that choice before entering the central street network.

Useful to know

  • Choose your parking or Park and Ride site before approaching the centre.
  • Check current routes, restrictions and charges for the day you travel.
  • Walk between nearby central sights once parked rather than moving the car repeatedly.
