    Follow a route

    To link stops in a logical order, the one-day, two-day and three-day itineraries have numbered maps. The Banksy and street art guide distinguishes visible artworks from those removed or moved.

    Understanding the markers

    The map shows central Bristol. If a distant place such as Aerospace or an excursion is not visible, look in the list: it appears there even outside the map frame. The guides explain how to get there and the travel time to allow.

    Walking routes are calculated using real map data. Walking times remain estimates, excluding visits, breaks and hills. Temporary closures or works may change the passage.
