With entertainment such as festivals, music, sports, theatres and restaurants on offer, you will never be short of things to do when staying in a Cardiff serviced apartment.

Cardiff is the main engine of growth in the Welsh economy: it is the principal finance and business services centre in Wales and there is also a strong representation of finance services in the local economy. Many employees travel regularly to Cardiff as part of their job, while some may even be relocated to the city; the serviced apartment industry assists these corporate travellers, providing them with a home-from-home stay that you can’t get from a hotel. Cardiff serviced apartments give business travellers the option to have their family come to stay with them and allow them to escape the day-to-day routine of long term hotel stays: constant meals out, a lack of privacy and a one room ‘home’.

For business travellers staying in a Cardiff serviced apartment, the city offers plenty to do. For those visiting Wales over the Christmas period, for example, Cardiff’s Winter Wonderland celebrates its 10th anniversary this year with an event running from 10th November 2010 to 3rd January 2011. Situated on City Hall Lawn, the festive extravaganza includes the magical Admiral open air ice rink, the Ice Cafe Bar and the spectacular Ferris wheel. With special guest appearances, festive music and fireworks, the Cardiff Winter Wonderland is the perfect day or night out with family and friends - ideal entertainment if you’re staying in a Cardiff serviced apartment over the next couple of months.

Cardiff is also guaranteed to keep sports fans busy. Designated a city of sport for 2009, Cardiff has built up a reputation as a sporting capital thanks to the quality of its events and its facilities. The city now boasts world-class stadiums for rugby, football, cricket and athletics, as well as the International Sports Village with an Olympic-size swimming pool, an ice rink and the Cardiff International White Water Centre (an Olympic-standard canoe slalom). Whether you like to watch, play, or both, Cardiff has a great amount of sporting entertainment on offer, perfect for evenings and weekends during your stay in a Cardiff serviced apartment.

One of the best things about staying in a Cardiff serviced apartment is having the ability to cook your own food when you want it and how you want it, but most of us also like to treat ourselves to a meal out occasionally. Cardiff features a wide range of restaurants serving Chinese, Indian, Thai, Italian, French, Japanese and American cuisine as well as famous restaurants such as Jamie Oliver’s ‘Jamie’s Italian’, his first restaurant in Wales. However, if you want to experience a real taste of Wales, Mimosa Bar & Kitchen - located in the iconic Wales Millennium Centre - offers a locally sourced menu. Cardiff also has a large range of bars, pubs and clubs, offering music to suit every taste.
