It’s getting more and more popular for groups of young adults to take holidays together, and it isn’t hard to see why. You get to enjoy and explore a new place with your friends, which tends to produce better and more lasting memories, and you’ll often find that larger groups end up doing more with their time as everyone suggests different activities.

Of course, some destinations are better than others for young groups, and Bristol is one of them. Here are just four reasons why.

1. It’s Easy to Reach

If you’re travelling as a young group, you’ll probably be using either a couple of cars or coming by train or bus. Bristol is well-connected, making it easy to reach when you come via train or bus, and it’s an easy drive from plenty of other UK cities.

2. It Has a Thriving Social Scene

While family visitors usually like to be tucked up in bed before midnight strikes, younger groups generally prefer to enjoy the nightlife. While Bristol doesn’t offer nightlife on the scale of a larger city like London or Manchester, it is host to several cool bars and clubs that can be great to explore during a quick city break.

3. You’ll Find Lots of Adrenalin Junkie Activities

Bristol has lots of cultural and historical attractions for groups of all ages, but it’s also a fantastic destination for younger groups who like to get active and enjoy a thrill. You’re right next to wide green spaces for hiking, with plenty of options for things like caving, climbing, and abseiling. In the city itself, you can arrange a hot air balloon ride and race up the rigging of Brunel’s SS Great Britain.

4. There Are Plenty of Cool Accommodation Options

Bristol is home to many unique accommodation options, including a wide range of serviced apartments. Staying in one makes your trip feel that bit more special, and they’re great to split between younger groups who like to hang out together in the evening.
