About Cardiff
Wales isn’t all rugby, beautiful valleys and tongue-twister place names. Just give a Cardiff minibreak a try to see for yourself.
The Welsh capital may be built around a medieval castle but the sights and sounds on offer feel undoubtedly modern. Even the Millennium Stadium has been brought into the 21st century, that’s right, the sporting cathedral is called the Principality Stadium now and it isn’t the only world-class venue in the city. There’s the Olympic-standard Cardiff International White Water centre for high adrenaline thrills and Wales Millennium Centre, home to musicals, contemporary dance shows and the biggest names in comedy.
Don’t forget to explore Cardiff Bay too, the waterfront city within a city is buzzing with bars and restaurants, well worth tearing away from the centre for. Get a bite to eat at Mermaid Quay, take in a public show at Roald Dahl Plass, the choice is yours. Whatever you do, make sure you book a Best Western room to cwtch (cuddle) up with your nearest and dearest in comfort.

Butetown
Also known as Tiger Bay, this district soon became one of the UK’s first multicultural communities with people from more than 50 countries settling to work there by the onset of WW1. While it may have experienced its fair share of troubles, it’s one of the most authentic parts of Cardiff. Plus, Shirley Bassey was born there.

Cardiff Castle
Last but not least, it’d be rude not to take a trip to Cardiff’s best-known attraction found in the heart of the city. The original motte and bailey castle dates back to the late 11th century, when it was built by Norman invaders on top of a 3rd century Roman fort. Spend the day uncovering the history of this gothic wonder, or see it through a different lens with an adventure in the Castle Quarter-based escape room.
