10 Things to do in Cardiff, Wales Travel Guide
Join us from Cardiff, Wales as we cover 10 things to do in Cardiff city including popular attractions, cool castes, green escapes, and Welsh food worth trying in this travel guide. Although we were sick for most of our visit to Cardiff, UK we ended up still finding enough time to visit the city center, our neighborhood and a few off-the-beaten path attractions.
What we loved most about Cardiff, Wales is just how friendly the locals here are in the supermarkets, restaurants, pubs and cafe that we frequented. On a rainy day we might put on the kettle, down a few Welsh cakes and pop open our umbrella for a wee stroll. When it was sunny, which fortunately for us was most of the time, we enjoyed exploring castles and arcades while wandering around in parks.
Cardiff is a city you appreciate the more you linger. You start to find favorite cafes, restaurants and pubs you return to frequently and after a while you feel more like a local after recognizing faces in and around your neighborhood. This is what we'll remember most and why we recommend visiting Cardiff which is a city with more of a town vibe.

10 Things to do in Cardiff, Wales Travel Guide Video Script:
Well hello hello from Cardiff, Wales. New destination for us. New destination. It is our very first time to Wales and we're so excited to be here. We've wanted to come to Wales for a really long time and we're going to explore Cardiff and show you guys what you can do here in this travel guide.
We started our visit of Cardiff Castle with a self-guided tour of the Castle Apartments. This is the newest-looking part of the castle as it was renovated in the early 19th century in the Gothic revival style. As part of the tour we got to see the Banqueting Hall, the Library, and a few different rooms, but the place that really caught our attention was the Arab room designed in a Moorish style which is quite different from the rest of the rooms.
We continued on to the Norman Keep, which dates to the 11th century. The 12-sided structure sits atop a hill and is surrounded by a moat, and if you climb to the very top you get some nice 360 degree views of the city.
And lastly, we visited the roman walls, and although these too have been renovated, the foundations date back to 50 AD.
And that’s it for our visit to Cardiff, Wales. Our trip was short and sweet but we hope this video gave you a few ideas of things to do in Cardiff on your own visit. Now you know the drill, if you have any other suggestions of cool things to do in and around Cardiff, feel free to share those with fellow travellers in the comments below. Wishing you happy travels!
This is part of our Travel in Wales video series showcasing Welsh food, Welsh culture and Welsh cuisine.

Top best places to visit in Cardiff, Wales
Cardiff is the capital and largest city of Wales and the tenth largest city in the United Kingdom.
Cardiff, City of Arcades, is famous for Victorian, Edwardian and contemporary indoor shopping arcades but it’s also a national financial and cultural hub.
The center of the town is situated around Cardiff Castle.
This is a medieval castle built in the late 11th century by Norman invaders on top of the 3rd century Roman fort.
Nowadays, unique arcades and major pedestrian streets around the castle make a great atmosphere to relax and to do shopping in style.
The castle is surrounded by two parks, where you can find the City Hall, National Museum and many more impressive buildings.
At the back of town hall are the Alexandra Gardens whose center contains the beautiful National War Memorial of Wales.
Close to the Castle is also the Millennium Stadium, a must see arena for any sport lover.
One of the most popular spots among tourists and residents is Cardiff Bay.
This area is full of restaurants, bars, notable buildings and amazing views.
The first place to go here is the futuristic Wales Millennium Centre for opera, theater, gallery and tourist information.
The next landmarks to see are:
The former headquarters of the Dock Company, the Pierhead Building.
And, standing just next to it, the Senedd, home to the National Assembly for Wales.
You can also take a lovely 2km walk with the harbor on one side of the path and the sea on the other.
There are many castles just outside of the city that are worth visiting. Castell Coch is one of them.
The first stronghold on the site was built by the Normans in the 11th century, and the most recent walls comes from the 19th century.
8 miles outside of Cardiff is a small town Caerphilly which is know for its medieval castle.
The fortification, which was constructed in the 13th century, is surrounded by extensive artificial lakes.
This picturesque citadel is the second largest castle in Britain.

Places to see in ( Cardiff - UK ) Cardiff Bay
Places to see in ( Cardiff - UK ) Cardiff Bay
Cardiff Bay is the area of water created by the Cardiff Barrage in South Cardiff, the capital of Wales. Cardiff Bay is also the name commonly given to the areas of the city surrounding the Cardiff Bay .
The creation of Cardiff Bay is now widely regarded as one of the most successful regeneration projects in the United Kingdom. The Cardiff Bay is supplied by two rivers (Taff and Ely) to form a 500-acre (2.0 km2) freshwater lake around the former dockland area south of the city centre. The Cardiff Bay was formerly tidal, with access to the sea limited to a couple of hours each side of high water but now provides 24-hour access through three locks.
Cardiff Bay played a major part in Cardiff’s development by being the means of exporting coal from the South Wales Valleys to the rest of the world, helping to power the industrial age. The coal mining industry helped fund the building of Cardiff into the Capital city of Wales and helped the Third Marquis of Bute, who owned the docks, become the richest man in the world at the time.
The Cardiff Bay Development Corporation (CBDC) was created in 1987 to stimulate the redevelopment of 1,100 hectares (2,700 acres) of derelict land. The St David's Hotel & Spa is a 5-star luxury hotel with commanding views of the Cardiff Bay and Penarth. The Pierhead was built in 1897 and designed by William Frame. The Senedd is the National Assembly for Wales building. The Wales Millennium Centre is home to the Welsh National Opera.Cardiff Bay railway station is northeast of Mermaid Quay and is served by shuttle services to Cardiff Queen Street railway station.

Cardiff is a port city on the south coast of Wales, where the River Taff meets the Severn Estuary. It was proclaimed the nation’s capital in 1955. The revitalized waterfront at Cardiff Bay includes the Wales Millennium Centre, home of the national opera, orchestra, theater and dance companies, plus shops at Mermaid Quay. Architect Richard Rogers’ strikingly modern Senedd building houses the Welsh National Assembly.
Cardiff is the capital and largest city in Wales and the eleventh-largest city in the United Kingdom. The city of Cardiff is the country's chief commercial centre, the base for most national cultural and sporting institutions, the Welsh national media, and the seat of the National Assembly for Wales.
The city of Cardiff is the county town of the historic county of Glamorgan (and later South Glamorgan). Cardiff is part of the Eurocities network of the largest European cities. The Cardiff Urban Area covers a slightly larger area outside the county boundary, and includes the towns of Dinas Powys and Penarth. A small town until the early 19th century, its prominence as a major port for the transport of coal following the arrival of industry in the region contributed to its rise as a major city.
Cardiff has seen significant development. A new waterfront area at Cardiff Bay contains the Senedd building, home to the Welsh Assembly and the Wales Millennium Centre arts complex. Current developments include the continuation of the redevelopment of the Cardiff Bay and city centre areas with projects such as the Cardiff International Sports Village, a BBC drama village, and a new business district in the city centre.
Sporting venues in the city include the Millennium Stadium (the national stadium for the Wales national rugby union team), SWALEC Stadium (the home of Glamorgan County Cricket Club), Cardiff City Stadium (the home of Cardiff City football team), Cardiff International Sports Stadium (the home of Cardiff Amateur Athletic Club) and Cardiff Arms Park (the home of Cardiff Blues and Cardiff RFC rugby union teams).

A Visit To Cardiff Bay In The Capital Of Wales
Cardiff Bay waterfront and barrage lies to the south of the Welsh Capital.
Looking at the grasslands and then moving on to Mermaid Quay with its bars and restaurants, the old Pierhead Building and the Wales Millennium Centre, a performing arts centre.
Cardiff Bay is also the home the the ‘Senedd’ The National Assembly for #Wales.
Taking a boat trip around the old docks and cranes of Cardiff Bay on the open boat ‘Daffodil’. The bay holds freshwater and was formed by the construction of the Cardiff Bay Barrage.
The old white Norwegian Church is now an arts centre and has been moved from it’s original location in the old docks to the edge of the new bay.
You can see the Dr Who’s Tardis outside the Dr Who exhibition which sadly closes in September 2017
During the summer holiday there is a fairground on the waterfront at Roald Dahl Plass (named after the Cardiff born author).
