📍 Destination Overview
Cardiff, the capital of Wales, sits at the mouth of the River Taff and was once the world's largest coal port. Its Victorian docks became Cardiff Bay, crowned by the Wales Millennium Centre and the Senedd, while Cardiff Castle and the Principality Stadium anchor the centre. Blending Celtic culture, industrial heritage and modern sport, it is one of Britain's most vibrant young cities.

📷 Top Attractions
Cardiff Castle
Cardiff Castle layers a Roman fort, a Norman motte-and-bailey and lavish Victorian Gothic Revival interiors. In the 19th century the Marquess of Bute and architect William Burges turned the medieval walls into dazzling rooms of gilt, heraldry and myth — the most colourful chapter of Wales's capital.

No.2 Cardiff
Cardiff Bay
Cardiff Bay is the regenerated waterfront of the old docklands, gathering the Welsh Parliament (Senedd), the Wales Millennium Centre and riverside dining. Promenades, water and festivals link together — both a citizen's backyard and the liveliest sample of contemporary Welsh cultural identity. At night water and lights mingle, and the bay grows gentle.

National Assembly for Wales
The Senedd, the Welsh Parliament building, opened in Cardiff Bay in 2006 to designs by Richard Rogers, famed for its transparent debating chamber and sustainable ethos.
