Cardiff is the capital of Wales, located in the southeast corner of the country. It has only been the capital since 1955 and is these days a centre for sport, thanks to the impressive Millennium Stadium.
Make sure you visit the vibrant and architecturally intriguing Cardiff Bay area, and you can't miss the Castle which is located in the heart of the city.
We spent a weekend in and around Cardiff - not long enough to see all that the city has to offer, but we got a good taste for what it was all about, and I must admit to being pleasantly surprised to find out it was not the industrial-type town that I imagined.

Great tips and photos. But, I was a little disappointed that you didn't even mention the greatest Welshman of them all, Tom Jones. (haha) Seriously, your page makes me want to book a flight. Best from New Jersey, Bill
Giving some consideration to a trip to Wales. Thanks for the good tips and pics. Your food tips are so great - why aren't you fat???
Considering this as a daytrip from London, thanks for the tips! Do I get another country with Wales? ;-)
Your ability to take such creative photographs is a delight to see. Appetizing food tips..yum. I applaud your attention to detail. Makes it quite helpful for those researching information.
Excellent tips and photos, sue, a welcome addition to Cardiff's VT pages. Nice peacock photo too. You certainly did a lot in a few days!!
Sounds like a nice place to visit for a weekend, nicer than I tought!
Nice page on Cardiff Sue. I visited on a daytrip from London and enjoyed my visit very much.
What a lovely place to spend a week-end. Great virtual tour of Cardiff. the food tips are making me hungry.
nice pg! great tips sue. I wish to visit Europe soon.
Those things at the hotel would've annoyed me too! We can both get old and cranky together ;)
