Cardiff United Kingdom

The capital of Wales, regarded as the youngest capital of Europe, is a vibrant metropolis, both modern and Victorian, where contemporary buildings harmoniously coexist with old nineteenth-century structures. Cardiff is a delightful fusion of the old and the new. Cardiff Castle stands majestically on the edge of a vast park, while a display of architectural fantasy decorates the streets of Georgian houses. The town's biggest tourist attraction is the eleventh-century castle built on an ancient Roman fort. Today, the castle is a true blend of styles and buildings, with the Norman tower perhaps being the most prominent. Ascend to the top of the tower for a priceless view of the city. Cardiff Bay, the city’s port, has been fully restored and has reconnected the Welsh capital with the sea. Cardiff Bay boasts spectacular buildings, including the Millennium Stadium and Millennium Centre. The Millennium Stadium is the international sports village and the Millennium Centre is the city's cultural hub, hosting thrilling plays and operas. The city also has world-class museums and galleries. The National Museum of Wales houses collections of natural history and geology, as well as an art gallery. St Fagan’s Museum is an open-air collection of reassembled historic buildings brought in from all over Wales. It offers a journey through Welsh history from Celtic times to the present day. Wales' capital city is a vibrant destination, filled with stylish bars, restaurants, hotels and historical attractions that will not disappoint visitors.
