Visit Cardiff, Capital of Wales
As you'd expect from the capital city of Wales, Cardiff is an excellent place to stay. You can visit the streets where television series such as Dr Who were filmed, watch a world class rugby match or much more.
The historic Cardiff castle will take you back in time and is a fascinating location whether you're young or old. A guided tour of Cardiff castle ought to be well up on your "to do" list. The location can trace its roots back to medieval days although in more recent times you may well be visiting to be part of the audience for a rock concert or possibly the Welsh version of Mardi Gras.
Cardiff is a regular host for the Welsh National Eisteddfod. Every other year, opera fans from all over the world flock to the city for the BBC Cardiff Singer of the World event. The Big Weekend Festival attracts approximately a quarter million people who enjoy the attractions and fairground rides that appear for the event. Cardiff's free outdoor festival is ideal for those people travelling to Cardiff on a budget.
Between them, Capitol Centre, St David's Centre and Queen's Arcade are the three main shopping arcades in the City. These three centres cater for almost every need: there are national department stores as well as smaller local shops that you'll only find in Cardiff. There are also plenty of other shopping opportunities to be found in Cardiff, including a number of shopping centres that date back to Victorian days, so others in your party can admire the architecture while you shop until you drop.
If you’re on an overnight stay in Cardiff, you may want to check out the musical scene in the city. There are a wide range of music venues ranging from small clubs and pubs right the way through to big venues. If you're not sure, start your exploration at the Brewery Quarter.
There are plenty of hotels and guest houses in Cardiff, so you’re certain to find somewhere to stay when you visit Cardiff.
