| Page Views: 1,495 Last Visit to Cardiff: February, 2007 | A rainy day in Cardiff by diocletianvs - last update: Mar 4, 2007 |
My visit to Cardiff was a short one. I spent only a day and a half after attending a conference in nearby Bristol. A day and a half was insufficient for London so I decided to visit the Welsh capital, which was a great decision. Although I surely missed lots of what Cardiff has to offer, its small scale (and my fast legs) enabled me to see most of its must-see attractions.
Cardiff is one of those places that I love: perfect in scale, with all attractions within a walking distance. But more important for me - you can feel its connection to the industrial past of Wales and the efforts it puts in creating a new image of vibrant post-industrial city. Former port docks are now an interesting display of contemporary architecture and this area is not only interesting to visit now but will be interesting to see in the next decades as future projects are shaped.
Plus, Cardiff is one of those cities that has a local VT Welcoming Committee which made me feel even more welcome. |

You did well for such a stort stay! Next time, do visit inside the Castle. The combination of Bute's money and Burgess' genius created an amazing place, really worth some of anyone's time - even a non-castle person. leyle | SabrinaSummerville Sun May 3, 2009 23:20 UTC

What a super page on Cariff! I've been a few times - saw a fabulous football match at the Millenium Stadium btwn Manchester United and Arsenal - what an amazing piece of engineering that stadium is! Nice juxtaposition btwn old and modern in Cardiff. | hunterV Sat Oct 11, 2008 18:02 UTC
