Cabot Circus
A large open-plan shopping centre in the city center with department stores, fast fashion, restaurants and a cinema under a glass dome. It's a favorite for students shopping.
Cabot Circus opened in 2008 and, together with the neighboring Broadmead shopping street and The Galleries, forms Bristol's largest shopping area. A curved glass roof covers the open-air streets and passages. It houses department stores such as Harvey Nichols and John Lewis, hundreds of brand-name shops, restaurants and a cinema, and the four-level 'Quakers Friars' square is a dining hub. Crowds are heavy on weekends and public holidays, and there are decorations and markets during the Christmas season. It is about a 15-minute walk from Temple Meads station, served by several bus routes, and has a large underground car park.
