Things to see in Cardiff

From the comfort of your apartment in Cardiff, you won't be short of things to discover. Take a look at our essential list:

  • Pierhead: A red brick Victorian landmark that sits aside the waterfront. With a decorous clock tower, it is now also an interactive museum that helps visitors understand the story of Cardiff as it transformed into the world’s largest coal port from just a small market town, to then become the capital of Wales.
  • Cardiff Castle: This Welsh relic is a medieval keep with a modern twist. During the Victorian era it was updated to include some interesting mock-Gothic features which make for a fantastic day out.
  • Wales Millennium Centre: An iconic building that represents all that Cardiff has achieved in terms of innovation and its new cosmopolitan character. It is made of Welsh slate and an amazing bronze shell. It is now an arts complex which hosts large cultural organisations such as the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, Tŷ Cerdd (Music Centre Wales) and more.
  • Principality Stadium: A fantastic stadium sitting aside the River Taff. You may know it better as the former Millenium Stadium, but due to new sponsorship has since changed. It was built to host the 1999 Rugby World Cup, but is now home to a whole host of sporting matches.
  • Roath Park: A perfectly preened garden which is one of the best green spaces here. It has many hidden corners and manicured rose beds.
  • Gorsedd Stones: These are traditional Welsh stones found all over the country where ‘eisteddfodau’ are held, the traditional Welsh festivals of literature, music and performance. This one in particular was erected in 1978.
  • Bute Park: This park carpets the way from the city centre all the way out of Cardiff, and accompanies the castle.
  • National Museum Cardiff: Forming part of the Welsh National Museum is the substantial art and natural history museum.
