Add to this Cardiffs happening nightlife and some of Britains best festivals and you have a wonderful destination for a short visit or a much longer stay.

As the capital of Wales, Cardiff proudly welcomes visitors to the delights of this stunning region. It has a strong youth and student culture blending with a firm political identity and a touch of sports madness to create one of the great cities of the UK. Architectural treats include the grand City Hall and neighbouring National Museum and Gallery of Wales. But Cardiff's main attraction remains the statuesque Cardiff Castle, which is located in the centre of town, alongside an area of city shopping and the impressive Bute Park. The Castle's enchanting towers are home an elaborate interior and a fascinating history that spans almost 2000 years.
