Cabot Circus is famed for its range of exceptional shops and the harbourside is the perfect place to spend a day musing or stopping for a bite to eat. But some of the city centre's best sites are hidden gems, tucked away on side streets behind the main roads.
Denmark Street is just one. Home to many small businesses, it's a street that is full of life but often walked past without a second glance.
Here are some of the best-loved hidden gems on the tucked-away street:
Ciao Amici Restaurant
10-11 Denmark St, Bristol BS1 5DQ
If Italian food is your thing, there is no better place to enjoy it than at Ciao Amici.
Having served up authentic handmade Italian food for 15 years, this family-run restaurant is a Bristol favourite.
Ciao Amici is ideal if you're looking for somewhere to sit down and get together with family. The menu boasts an extensive range of pizzas, pastas and more. And I promise you won't be able to pass up on dessert.
They are also consistently offering bargain deals too, such as 10 per cent off for those off to see a show at the Hippodrome, Bristol Beacon or the O2 Academy as well as 10 per cent off for students.
Smoke and Mirrors theatre pub
8 Denmark St, Bristol BS1 5DQ
Smoke and Mirrors isn't just any pub.
Home to a secret comedy club it's certainly something special.
The theatre pub has been ranked as the 'top thing to do in Bristol' on TripAdvisor for years running and is also listed as the fourth-best attraction in the city, yet passers-by often hurry past without noticing it.
They serve up fantastic pizza as well as a full range of drinks, making this a great spot to spend a few hours.
And once you're done drinking, you can access a 46-seat theatre accessed through a 'secret' door at the back of the pub, which has hosted huge names such as Alan Carr, Russell Howard and Russell Kane.
Nice Spice
24 Denmark Street, Bristol BS1 5DQ England
Nice Spice is described as a "snug counter-serve turning out classic Cantonese Chinese cuisine like roast duck and char siu" and on visiting, the restaurant was packed full of people.
The number of happy diners is a testament to the food Nice Spice serves.
Known for its authentic cuisine, it is the perfect lunchtime spot or date night venue for a cosy evening.
The noodle soup is not to be missed and they are consistently praised on TripAdvisor for their generous portion sizes.
