Tour description
Cardiff is the vibrant capital of Wales, a city once made wealthy by coal that has reinvented itself around a fairytale castle, elegant Victorian shopping arcades, and one of Britain's most magnificent civic centres. On this walking tour, a local guide will reveal the city's history and Welsh identity.
You will start at Cardiff Castle, stroll through the famous Victorian shopping arcades, and admire the imposing civic buildings in Cathays Park. Along the way, you will hear about the coal boom, Welsh culture, and the city's rebirth. Both vibrant and steeped in history, Cardiff is a wonderful city to explore on foot.
