The capital city of Wales in the UK is a buzzing hub of creativity, culture, and color. From the renovated docklands to the thriving city center, check out three of the best things to see and do if you’re spending time in the Welsh capital.
Cardiff Castle
If you’re a history fan, make a beeline to the fantastic Cardiff Castle in the city center. There has been activity at this site for over 2000 years, and Victorian improvements in its architecture have given the castle a dramatic, ornate feel. You will need to pay to access the interior but the large, landscaped grounds are free.
Explore the City Docks
The docklands demonstrate Cardiff’s industrial past, although recent renovations and changes mean that this area feels cosmopolitan and exciting. The docks are a great place to grab a bite to eat as there are plenty of trendy bars, or simply enjoy a waterside stroll.
National Museum of Cardiff
This centrally located museum is free to enter and contains many fascinating exhibits about Welsh history, language, and culture. There are plenty of child-friendly interactive displays, plus a wonderful on-site cafe so you can spend a whole morning or afternoon here with your little ones.
