Cardiff Vacation Guide
Cardiff is the largest city in Wales and was made its capital in 1955. It sits on three rivers - the Taff, the Ely, and the Rhymney - all of which flow into the Bristol Channel. It rose to be the economic centre of Wales as a result of its docks shipping the coal and steel of the south Wales valleys around the world in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
'Modern' Cardiff is a vibrant and young capital city that offers something suitable for everybody's tastes. From recognised high-street shopping brands to its many smaller boutiques throughout the city centre arcades, restaurants of all the worlds cuisine's, cinema's and theatres, bars and nightclubs, the re-developed Dock area, two universities, and of course, sport. Cardiff's Millennium Stadium is the home of Wales' international football and rugby teams - as well as a regular stop for touring bands. There is also the Cardiff Blues rugby team, Cardiff City Football Club, Glamorgan County Cricket Club and the Cardiff Devil's Ice Hockey team.
And that's without mentioning the two thousand year-old Roman castle that dominates the centre of the city!
An amazing feature of Cardiff is its wonderful nightlife at weekends. The main St. Mary's Street is just walking road for people to enjoy bars and discos on both sides of the street.

we went to Cardiff, went to the shops, and decided that we should have gone to Millenium Bay instead. when I get around to that, I will be able to take a picture of the fab sign with a dalek on it, but it wasn't safe whilst I was driving!

This is a wonderful city, but unfortunately most visitors miss it in their UK trip ...
