Cardiff celebrated its centenary as a city and its 50th year as Wales’ capital in 2005. The city is still buzzing with the celebrations so now is the time to pay a visit.

Cardiff, is a vibrant, cosmopolitan capital and has undergone enormous regeneration over the past decade or so. Its traditional attractions – a fairy-tale castle in the middle of the city, a fine museum housing one of the best Impressionist collections in Europe outside Paris and the world-renowned Museum of Welsh Life – are now complemented by a stunning waterfront development in Cardiff Bay and world-class venues such as the awesome Wales Millennium Centre and the iconic Millennium Stadium, the biggest under-cover stadium in Europe. Testimony to Cardiff’s growing reputation is that it is now a designated Centre of Culture, an accolade received for being short-listed for the title of European Capital of Culture 2008 and the International Sports Village is now under construction.

Alongside our high street shops and big department stores there are a selection of Victorian arcades containing designer boutiques and unique shops. Cardiff offers a selection of hotels and B&B’s at an assortment of rates all within an easy distance of the city centre.
