Guide to Cardiff

Cardiff caters to a wide range of interests, making it an appealing destination for both leisurely strolls among historical monuments (the castles are a must-visit) and those seeking shopping and entertainment. Along High Street, one of the city's main thoroughfares, you'll discover numerous shopping centers and arcades, some dating back to the Victorian and Edwardian eras. Where else can you shop for souvenirs in a late 19th- or early 20th-century store? Cardiff boasts the renowned Millennium Stadium, which not only hosts various soccer and rugby events but also welcomes musical concerts featuring legendary artists like Madonna, Tina Turner, Paul McCartney, and The Rolling Stones. The Cardiff Castle, with its theaters, concert hall, and the National Museum nearby, stands as the most famous and visited castle in the city. For those interested in religious landmarks and stunning architecture, Cardiff's churches, representing different denominations and built across various centuries, are worth exploring. Other notable attractions include the City Hall, Cardiff University buildings, the courthouse, and several picturesque old parks. Roath Park, celebrating its centenary, is especially famous for its botanical pavilion and rose gardens.
