Things to see & do in the capital
It’s right in the middle of the city, yet the castle feels like a world apart – an oasis of calm set apart from the bustle by its ancient walls.
Learn about its Roman origins, the amazing Gothic transformation of the nineteenth-century and its part in the Second World War. Climb the Great Clock Tower, sneak into the tunnels or stay until the evening and attend a Welsh banquet.
Wales Millennium Centre (Welsh: Canolfan Mileniwm Cymru) (WMC) is Wales' national arts centre located in Cardiff Bay.
The centre is Cardiff's principal receiving venue for large-scale opera, ballet, contemporary dance and musicals. It comprises a large theatre and two smaller halls with shops, bars and restaurants.

There are six Victorian arcades in Cardiff, offering an intimate environment for shoppers who enjoy an alternative to the well-trodden path of the high street. There are over 100 unique shops to check out. The Castle Quarter is made up of High Street Arcade, Duke Street Arcade and Castle Arcade. These are historic structures full of vintage clothes stores, craft shops and coffee shops. There's a free City of Arcades history and culture guided walking tour with Fogo’s Free Tours, which operates on a 'pay as you feel' basis after the tour.
Cardiff Market (also known as Central Market) is a Victorian indoor market in the city centre. Under one roof, you'll find everything from fresh bread and spices to vintage records and clothes. A hub for independents, its home to long-standing businesses such as Ashton Fishmongers and The Market Deli which have been trading in the market for over 100 years. In recent years, Cardiff Market has become popular for street food with businesses such as Bao Selecta, Ffwrnes Pizza, Pierogi and Tukka Tuk.
Cardiff International White Water is an Olympic standard white water rafting centre based at the Cardiff International Sports Village in Cardiff Bay. The centre opened on 26 March 2010, after taking two years to build the £13.3m venue, which is the first on-demand white water centre in the UK.
Spend a varied day exploring Cardiff Bay’s heritage sites which starts with a trip on the Aqua Bus, taking in Mermaid Quay, the wetlands nature reserve and the Barrage.
Then stop off at The Senedd, the home of the Welsh Government and one of the world’s most environmentally friendly parliament buildings, before checking out the Grieg Room and Dahl Gallery at the Norwegian Church Arts Centre, where you can also relax over a delicious lunch.
Stretch your legs on a walk between Cardiff Bay and the delightful seaside town of Penarth.
Once you've arrived, stop for a bite to eat at the fully restored Art Deco Pier Pavilion, which houses a gallery, cinema, café and restaurant.
