The city was significantly damaged during the bombing raids of the Second World War, but has been regenerated in recent years. With extra cultural kudos from musicians like Tricky and Portishead, as well as street artist Banksy, and its many museums, cafes, shops and bars, Bristol is now developing a reputation as one of the UK's most up-and-coming cities.
