Sustainable travel in Bristol isn’t hard. The city is walkable, well-connected, and full of independent spots making real efforts to reduce waste. If you’re staying at PREMIER SUITES Bristol Cabot Circus, you’re already off to a good start. Serviced apartments naturally support a more sustainable way to travel less waste, more flexibility, and better use of local resources.

Here’s how to keep your footprint light while still enjoying everything the city has to offer.

Walk More, Drive Less

PREMIER SUITES Bristol is just around the corner from Cabot Circus. That puts you within walking distance of Bristol’s main attractions, including:

• Castle Park
• St Nicholas Market
• Bristol Harbourside
• The Old City
• Bristol Museum and Art Gallery

Walking means fewer emissions, but it’s also the best way to see the city properly. For longer journeys, buses and trains are nearby no car required.

Choose Public Transport

Bristol is one of the better UK cities when it comes to public transport. Temple Meads train station is just over 1 km away, and the city’s Metrobus network offers fast, low-emission travel through the centre and out to places like Ashton Court or Clifton Downs.

You can also rent e-scooters in designated areas or hop on a Voi e-bike, both of which are supported by the council and ideal for short trips.

Use What’s in Your Apartment

Staying in a serviced apartment lets you avoid single-use waste. Every suite at PREMIER SUITES Bristol Cabot Circus comes with:

• A fully equipped kitchen (ideal for cooking with local produce)
• A washing machine
• Dishwasher and fridge-freezer
• Reusable crockery, cutlery, and glassware

You can reduce plastic packaging, skip the takeaway containers, and cook exactly what you need—no more, no less.

Stay Longer, Waste Less

Longer stays reduce the environmental impact of transport and make your use of utilities more efficient. PREMIER SUITES Bristol is built for extended stays, offering weekly housekeeping and laundry facilities. You can settle in, shop smart, and support the local area without the need to constantly move around.

The longer you stay in one place, the less you use in terms of transit, water, and cleaning supplies. Plus, you’ll get to know your surroundings better which usually means fewer disposable purchases and more mindful habits.

Bring Reusables

It sounds small, but it adds up. Travelling with these items can make a noticeable difference:

• Reusable water bottle
• Reusable coffee cup
• Tote bag for groceries
• Bamboo cutlery set

Bristol is a city that supports this kind of travel. Many cafés offer discounts for using your own cup. Refill stations are common, and plastic bag charges are firmly in place across all major shops.

Support Sustainable Locals

Cabot Circus is home to several sustainable retailers, including brands with strong ethical practices. But step just outside the main centre and you’ll find independents worth supporting:

• Better Food – Organic, ethical groceries and takeaway.
• Zero Green – Refill and zero-waste store on North Street.
• The Green Melon – Vegan deli and zero-waste shop in Clifton.
• St Nicholas Market – Local produce and handmade goods.

Eating out? Look for plant-forward menus, locally sourced ingredients, and low-waste kitchen practices. Many restaurants post their sustainability policies online.

In-Suite Recycling

Each PREMIER SUITES Bristol Cabot Circus apartment includes recycling options, making it easier to separate your waste. Just take a moment to read the local guidelines (provided in your suite) to help reduce contamination and keep things simple for the local system.

Sustainable travel in Bristol starts with small choices. By walking instead of driving, supporting local businesses, and making use of your serviced apartment’s full facilities, you’ll leave a lighter footprint. PREMIER SUITES Bristol Cabot Circus gives you the space and flexibility to live more responsibly while still enjoying everything the city has to offer.
