A closer look

Begin around the castle and central arcades, then allow separate time for Cardiff Bay. The city’s public and cultural life extends beyond match days.

Give the place its own time

Major events can change road access and hotel demand. Check transport and any mobility requirements before fixing a full programme.

Give the day room to unfold

Choose one main outing for each day and leave time for meals and the journey back. Confirm access, transport and any guided arrangements before setting out.
