Cardiff - Europe’s least known BIG city. CARDIFF is a fine city with a population of around 330,000, which
grows by 100,000 on "Big Event" occasions, when our visitors arrive to watch their favourite team, or hear fine
choral music. It is a good idea to book your accomodation well in advance, as you may find otherwise that you have to travel
long distances to get alternative rooms, which could be up to 50 miles away. All the accomodation listed below is close, (within
30 minutes), of Cardiff City Centre, where most of the "Big Events" take place, at the Millenium Stadium (Rugby,
Football, Speedway & Concerts), Sophia Gardens (Cricket), Wales Millenium Centre (Opera and Performing Arts), CIA (Exhibitions
& Concerts) or St. David's Hall (Musical Occasions, Choirs and Conferences).
CARDIFF has excellent Rail, Bus and Coach links,
and a first class International Airport, just 30 minutes away. Visit our Travel page for further details on how to get here
easily, and at a reasonable cost.
Accomodation Room
Rates range from £385 per night for a typical 5 Star Cardiff Hotel, to £60 in a welcoming B&B close to the
city. Most establishments will have been Inspected and Graded by Visitwales - please note that the number of Stars does NOT
indicate the facilities provided - rather the QUALITY of the accomodation.
CARDIFF has excellent accomodation of all types, ranging
from 5 Star hotels to Family run Bed & Breakfasts. In between, there are Self-Catering, Hostels and Campsites as
well as Caravan Parks.
We do not try to direct you to any particular business, but all those who appear on
this site are highly recommended for your stay, however long !
Cardiff
is a major seaport as well as the Welsh Capital. Cardiff Bay, (the former "docklands") has been transformed with
a multi-million pound regeneration scheme into a superb maritime waterfront and visitor experience. Here you can visit the
fascinating "Techniquest" hands-on science experience, the Norwegian Church "Konditore" (Cafe) and Visitor
Centre, the awe inspiring Wales Millenium Centre (concert hall), Craft in the Bay (traditional Welsh artisann skills),
the Welsh Assembly "Senydd", numerous, pubs, restaurants and coffee bars, and best of all, the chance to take a
boat trip up and down river, across the Bay to Penarth, and on a fine day, the opportunity to ride on the Banana Boat - the
high speed rib that takes you right out into the seas off Penarth Seafront on a dare-devil ride !
Cardiff
is considered to have the finest Civic Centre this side of New Delhi, and is home to around 1/3 million people. The city is
a major resort for visitors, and hundreds of thousands come here every year to enjoy Rugby, Football, Cricket, Athletics,
Swimming and most other sports, at superb stadia - mostly newly built with the very latest facilities.
Cardiff Civic Centre and The City Hall (here shown on the University's Graduation Day),
We bring you an independent view of CARDIFF, its Businesses,
People and Attractions, as well as the surrounding beautiful countryside.
