Bristol grew as a port where the Avon meets the sea and is today the cultural centre of south-west England. Two works by the engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the Clifton Suspension Bridge and the SS Great Britain, are its emblems, and the walls where Banksy started are still there. Pegasus, easyJet and SunExpress fly direct from Turkiye to Bristol, and the flight from Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen takes about 4 hours 30 minutes. The harbourside is walkable, though Clifton means a climb.
