Fun things to do in Cardiff!

St Fagans: National History Museum

See Wales in a day at one of Europe's biggest open-air museums. The 100-acre parkland has over forty original buildings, moved from various parts of Wales and re-erected to show how the people of Wales lived over the last 500 years. pretty much the most user-friendly and enjoyable national history museum you'll ever visit.

Cardiff Bay

The old Cardiff docklands have been redeveloped in the last decade to create Cardiff Bay, home to a large freshwater lake for sailing and water sports; the stylish five-star St David's Hotel and Spa, and Mermaid Quay a restaurant hotspot with everything from Italian to Turkish cuisine - this is where the 'Welsh Royal Family' live (well Charlotte Church and Gavin Henson anyway!)

The Tube (Cardiff Bay Visitor Centre)

The Bay Visitor Centre, also known as The Tube, is home to exhibitions and displays on the history and development of Cardiff Bay, including a scale model of the entire city - what's more this interesting place is free!

Cardiff Castle

Cardiff may only have been a city for 100 years, but there has been a castle here for nearly 2000! Tours of the castle interior take place throughout the day, or visitors can just enjoy a stroll around the picturesque Castle gardens. The newly opened Interpretation Centre will also present for the first time the story of the Castle and its 2000 years of history, offering your group a unique opportunity to learn about the different phases of the Castle's development from the Romans through to the modern day.

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 the most extensive Doctor Who shop this side of Gallifey!

Millennium Stadium

When this impressive city centre sporting centre 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!

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.

Norwegian Church Arts Centre

The Norwegian Church Arts Centre was first established in Cardiff Bay to serve the large community of Norwegian sailors working in the docks. Its main claim to fame is as the church where author Roald Dahl (BFG, Charlie & The Chocolate factory) was christened... Ok this seems a bit boring... however, it has been converted into a great little cafe and art gallery and is a good place to chillout for an hour or so.

Techniquest

Enter a world of science and technology at Cardiff Bay's Techniquest, with well over 100 hands-on exhibits with puzzles and activities to entertain you. There are also shows in the Science Theatre and tours of the Universe in the Planetarium.

Shopping

Cardiff is considered one of the top five shopping cities in the UK. There are the Victorian and Edwardian arcades that link the city's main shopping streets. This is where you'll find niche shops, boutiques and cafes with real character and shops that have a distinctive Welsh flavour.

Nightlife

Cardiff's nightlife provides something for everyone and whether it's a quiet drink with some of your group or properly getting on it, between Cardiff's lively centre (split between Greyfriars Road, St Mary Street and Mill Lane) and the more tranquil setting of Cardiff Bay, you will find the perfect hangout. As the Capital of Wales, Cardiff is blessed with hundreds of pubs, from traditional spit and sawdust, such as the Vulcan, to brand new creations like the Goscombe.

Emporium

Cardiff's premier dance venue... Although Emporium is not an especially large club it has two floors and has a distinctly intimate feeling. It's a really great club and a good choice if you are all up for going out as a group.

Tiger Tiger - Vodka Island

Club Metropolitan (Metros)

Feeling the need for guitars? Want to end your night loud and surrounded by leather? If you want to rock in Cardiff, then check out Metros!

Eating & Drinking

Restaurants are plentiful in and around Cardiff, with options to suit almost every taste and budget.

The Armless Dragon

For something authentic you have to go to The Armless Dragon. Its dishes up the best in contemporary Welsh cuisine, sourcing the finest local and organic ingredients, the Armless Dragon is a national treasure... and a great place to go if you want to treat yourself...

Cafe Naz

This simple, stylish eatery boasts excellent food, great service in a lovely location right on the bay... We really love Naz especially the vege options which keep us coming back every time we visit Cardiff... We love Naz!

The Vulcan

Built in 1853 this is one of the oldest pubs in Cardiff, and the oldest that has kept its name. It is built on Marshland below sea level. The name Vulcan means 'God of Fire', was given by the IronWorks in Balls Road at the time. Voted Cardiff Pub of the Year in has some really good selections of Ales!

The Goscombe

Over half a million pounds was spent converting a former bakery. It is modern looking - a hybrid coffee shop, pub and restaurant, with a big fire, superb Gas Plasma TVs & some comfy chairs.
