Bristol or Bath - 10 things that make Bristol the better city

The cities share a ‘friendly’ rivalry but we feel there’s one clear winner

Bristol is no more than a stone’s throw away from Bath but both cities have very different vibes.

Of course, the answer will be subject to opinion, and, seeing as we are BristolWorld, we might be a tad biased in our answer. And, this isn’t to say that Bath isn’t a lovely place to live or visit but, nevertheless, we’re happy to put forward our argument as to why Bristol might just pip Bath as the better city to live in.
