Local Information
Cardiff is fast becoming one of the UK’s most popular visitor destinations. Already well known for its sporting, artistic and maritime traditions, Cardiff boasts all the attractions, cultural and leisure facilities that expected in a modern capital city – and it’s all so easily accessible.
In the centre of the city, visitors will find brilliant shopping just a stone’s throw away from a fairytale castle, the famous Millennium Stadium and acres of lush parkland.
Just a short walk or ride away is Cardiff Bay, where visitors can while away a few hours over a meal on the waterfront, take in one of the many attractions or enjoy a show at the Wales Millennium Centre. As well as offering a whole host of things to see and do within the city, Cardiff makes a great base for visiting the rest of South East Wales. Good road links across the region mean that visitors can combine a stimulating city break with the rural scenery on Cardiff’s doorstep.
