Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales

Cardiff is a city of surprises which is why it is one of the UK's most popular visitor destinations. The Capital city of Wales is already well known for its sporting, artistic and maritime traditions and more and more people are discovering everything else it's got to offer.

Cardiff boasts all the tourist attractions, cultural and leisure facilities that you would expect in a modern capital city - and all so easily accessible.

In the city centre there is a magnificent range of shopping opportunities, all just a stone's throw away from a fairytale historic castle, the famous Millennium Stadium and acres of lush parkland. Just a short walk or ride away is Cardiff Bay, where there is a fantastic array of mouthwatering waterfront restaurants. You could also take in one of the many tourist 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 Vale of Glamorgan. Good road and rail links across the region mean that visitors can combine a stimulating city break with the rural scenery on Cardiff's doorstep.
