Cardiff is the capital city of Wales and is a great place to stay - not just for visiting places where the television series Dr Who was filmed or for when you watch rugby.
If you're a fan of history then you definitely have to visit the historic site of Cardiff castle. A trip round Cardiff castle should definitely be high up on your list. The location can trace its roots back to medieval days although in more recent times you may well be visiting to be part of the audience for a rock concert or possibly the Welsh version of Mardi Gras.
Cardiff is a regular host for the Welsh National Eisteddfod. Every other year, opera fans from all over the world flock to the city for the BBC Cardiff Singer of the World event. The Big Weekend Festival attracts approximately a quarter million people who enjoy the attractions and fairground rides that appear for the event. Cardiff's free outdoor festival is ideal for those people travelling to Cardiff on a budget.
Between them, Capitol Centre, St David's Centre and Queen's Arcade are the three main shopping arcades in the City. These three centres cater for almost every need: there are national department stores as well as smaller local shops that you'll only find in Cardiff. If you don't want to experience the modern malls, you may prefer to wander around the numerous shopping centres that can be traced back to the Victorian times. These also feature some intricate Victorian architecture if you can take your eyes off the bargains in the shops.
If you’re on an overnight stay in Cardiff, you may want to check out the musical scene in the city. There are a wide range of music venues ranging from small clubs and pubs right the way through to big venues. If you're uncertain, begin at the Brewery Quarter and work out from there.
There are plenty of hotels and guest houses in Cardiff, so you’re certain to find somewhere to stay when you visit Cardiff.
