Visiting Cardiff

A modern capital city that the Welsh are understandably proud of. A visit here should include the regenerated Cardiff Bay area for its shops, restaurants and tourist attractions. For example as Doctor Who is filmed in Cardiff there’s the Doctor Who Up-Close Exhibition which offers a Dalek encounter!

Alternatively time travel back to the 12th Century as you climb the Norman Keep at Cardiff Castle in the city centre. And the beautiful National Museum Cardiff is also worth a visit for its fine collection including works by Picasso and Monet.

Tips: Rugby fans can tour the Millennium Stadium; tickets should be pre-booked.
