Cardiff

This year the city of Cardiff is celebrating its centenary as well as it 50 th anniversary as the Capital City of Wales.

Cardiff is a vibrant, cosmopolitan city, which has undergone enormous regeneration over the past decade. Its traditional attractions - a fairy tale castle in the middle of the city, a fine museum housing one of the best Impressionist collections in Europe outside Paris - are now complemented by a stunning waterfront development in Cardiff Bay and world class venues such as the Wales Millennium Centre and the Millennium Stadium.

Alongside high street shops and big department stores, there are a selection of Victorian arcades containing designer boutiques and unique shops. Cardiff has a growing reputation as a Centre of Culture, an accolade received for being short-listed for the title of European Capital of Culture 2008.
