Cardiff Castle / Castell Caerdydd
Things To Do 4 2
History in the heart of the capital
Cardiff Castle is one of Wales' leading heritage attractions, with over 2,000 years of history just waiting to be explored within its walls. That's something to be pretty proud of! Aside from its obvious allure, it hosts regular community events such as food festivals, concerts, open air cinema and theatre. It provides a real hub to the city!
My Cardiff Favourites
National Museum Cardiff / Amgueddfa Cymru
Travel through time!
Sat in the heart of Cardiff's beautiful city centre, this extraordinary building holds within it millions of years of history: much of which is focused around the evolution of Wales. The museum is a symbol of pride for the locals, paying homage to the country's thriving history and the many notable Welsh artists and their mesmerising work.
Cardiff's very own fairy tale...
In North Cardiff, Castell Coch (Red Castle in English) sits in the rich Welsh hillside surrounded by towering trees. This exceptional piece of architecture peeks through the fairy tale forest on a platform commanding the gorge of the Taff. Basically? It's beautiful. Mind-blowingly beautiful. And boy are the locals proud of it... you can see why.
Sneak a peek behind the scenes...
The world-wide cultural phenomenon has endless fans, and no less those in Cardiff. Why? Because season after season, the TARDIS lands in the Welsh capital, with a huge amount of scenes recorded here! Locals love this awesome, interactive exhibit that celebrates the iconic national treasure: great fun for family trips or just fans of the show!
Chapter Arts Centre
Hip hangout at Chapter Arts Centre
Situated in the heart of Canton (bursting to the brims with local life), Chapter is your one stop hub for all arty types. Teens, families, couples and individuals alike will stop by for a cup of coffee, a pint, a meal or to visit one of the many culture attractions in this very cool community hangout. Great atmosphere, great attraction.
Penarth Pier Pavillion
Cardiff's best kept secret
To the locals, Penarth is well-known for its elegant yet homey atmosphere & beautiful landscape. Yet many visiting Cardiff for the first time will miss it entirely! The Pier Pavillion has recently had the full works applied to it: what used to *just* be an award-winning pier overlooking a glorious waterfront is now ALSO a hub of community life!
The National Assembly for Wales
See the Senedd in action
The Senedd (the main public building of the National Assembly for Wales) is a symbol of Wales as a nation. The centre for democracy and devolution in the country, it is a crucial component of Welsh culture. But it's also a public building, and so much about the community which it serves. Locals congregate in the Oriel cafe for coffee and gossip!
St Fagans National History Museum
Free Family Fun!
Since 1948, St Fagans has delivered opportunities to step back in time for free! It regularly sits in the Trip Advisor top 10 free attractions in the UK and is easily the most popular free heritage site in Wales. An open-air museum in the grounds of the magnificent St Fagans castle and gardens, it recently received funding for a huge renovation!
