The Arcade: Shopping malls are nothing new. It all began with the first shopping arcade in late eighteenth-century Paris. A covered pedestrian alley provided comfortable, stylish and safe shopping away from the dirt and clatter of the street, not to mention the rain. Soon British cities were discovering their pleasures. Bristol had two arcades designed by James Foster in 1824. One was lost in the Blitz, but the survivor is as elegant as ever. The design was inspired by Burlington Arcade in London. For staying in Bristol select hotels in Bristol as they offer the world class services to the customers and also they offer lots of discount to the customers.
The Architecture Centre: Anyone fascinated by buildings should feel at home here. The Bristol Centre for the Advancement of Architecture was founded in 1996. An 18th-century warehouse beside the Floating Harbour was converted to provide two exhibition galleries, a meeting room and a shop. A visitor can browse the latest books on architecture or peruse plans of new developments. The Centre also offers guided tours, visits, discussions, workshops and lectures.
