Bristol’s Tourist Information Centre has moved to the ground floor of the Galleries.

Open from Tuesday to Sunday, the information hub offer services for both visitors to the city and for people who live in Bristol, such as help with public transport, as well as stocking themed gifts and souvenirs.

The shop has reopened following the easing of lockdown, with measures put in place to keep the store as safe as possible, including PPE for staff, contactless payments and a limit to the number of people allowed inside.
“I am delighted that we have managed to find a new home for the Tourist Information Centre in the Galleries during what has been a difficult time for everybody,” says John Hirst, chief executive of Destination Bristol, which runs the tourist information centre. “We look forward to welcoming visitors and locals to the new location.”
