Details About Cardiff

Attractions

• Cardiff Castle - Cardiff may only have been a city for 100 years, but there has been a castle here for nearly 2000 years. Tours of the castle interior take place throughout the day, or visitors can just enjoy a stroll around the picturesque Castle gardens.
• National Museum Cardiff - Two wealthy Welsh sisters bequeathed their large art collection to the museum and gallery in the mid 20th century, resulting in Cardiff owning one of the largest collections of Impressionist paintings outside of Paris, with works by Renoir, Monet and Cezanne on display.
• Millennium Stadium - When the stadium isn’t hosting major sports matches or concerts you can take a tour of the 74,000 seater stadium. Walk down the players' tunnel, try out the Queen’s seat in the Royal box and discover how they removed the curse from the away-team changing rooms.
• Wales Millennium Centre - Wales Millennium Centre presents international opera, ballet, modern dance and musicals. ‘Arts Sherpas’ run tours of the front and backstage areas and free live music performances take place in the foyer every lunchtime.
• Doctor Who Exhibition - Get up close to a cyberman and a dalek, and see monsters, costumes and props from the recent series of Doctor Who, most of which was filmed in Cardiff. The interactive exhibition in the Red Dragon Centre also features props from the original series, and a Doctor Who shop.
