Clifton village is LOVELY! I’m staying in saint Paul’s area which is a little sketchy but more “alternative” I wouldn’t recommend this area at night time But it’s really close to the bus station and to walk downtown. I felt safe but just be aware

Italy
I visited Bristol almost two years ago. I organized my trip through an agency and attended a school, traveling in a group with my friends. I felt almost always safe, even when walking alone. From the first day, I was always out and about, occasionally returning to my host mom's place. I explored everything, from churches to huge green parks, museums to shops. Being my first time in the UK, I couldn't resist entering any store. Bristol's main street is full of little shops, and I will never forget the four-story Primark, which wasn't in Italy at the time. Once you understand the bus directions, getting around is easy, and the people around are very helpful. Tip: if you get on a bus, sit down immediately; it's not like in Italy where you can stand. I got scolded a few times. Get familiar with the upper deck; it's a unique experience. Don't forget that the direction of travel is reversed, so be careful when crossing the street. Watch out for seagulls; they brought me keys, meaning they steal everything XD (not that it wasn't known). I highly recommend seeing the suspension bridge and exploring Bristol on foot. If you're energetic, wake up in the morning and join the English for a nice morning run or, better yet, join them in group sports activities. For an Italian, the food is a drama everywhere. I was unlucky to have a host mom with back pain who served me potatoes and meat throughout my stay. However, I often went out to eat with my friends. Don't miss out on Five Guys and Starbucks, but above all, try the famous Fish and Chips; you won't regret it. To save money, I went to Subway most of the time because I didn't have much time going to school. Absolutely play Mini Golf and enter the arcades; you'll have a blast. I stayed for 2 weeks (15 days) on a budget of €2000. But we have to consider that I was with an agency, in a group, and attending a private school. Museums and transportation were "free." My host mom warned me about places where it was better not to go alone, but they were only in distant suburbs. If I could, I would gladly go back.
