The city is famous for its thriving classical and popular arts culture. Bristol has many live music venues such as the Bristol Academy, Fiddlers or the Victoria Rooms; these venues were the birthplace of some of the most influential groups in British music since the late 70's such as Massive Attack or Portishead. The city is also one of the biggest centres in the country for the theatrical arts; the Theatre Royal is the oldest continuously operating theatre in England and is complemented by several other locations which play host to the city's many production companies - the Bristol Old Vic, the Show of Strength Theatre company and the Travelling Light Theatre company all call Bristol home.

Of course the short term serviced apartments in Bristol are also solid choices for those visiting the city for business. If you're on a company budget, these apartments offer a great place to stay whilst taking care of extended business in the city. Bristol is the home of some of the UK's most influential key industries - as the city's nautical connections to international commerce have faded, it has developed links to the aerospace industry, the defence sector, IT, the financial services sector and the media.

With the Ministry of Defence's Equipment and Support agency based in Filton alongside some of BAE systems and Airbus's premier production sites and business offices, Bristol sees a huge number of business visitors every year. If you're one of these visitors then you should consider staying in a short term serviced apartment - it offers you a central location to operate from, allows you to save money and can even offer you an office away from home.
