Tour description
Cardiff is the vibrant capital of Wales, a city that grew rich on coal and reinvented itself around a fairy-tale castle, elegant Victorian shopping arcades and one of the finest civic centres in Britain. On this walking tour a local guide reveals its history and Welsh character.
You will start at Cardiff Castle, wander the famous Victorian arcades, and see the grand civic buildings of Cathays Park. Along the way you will hear about the coal boom, Welsh culture and the city's revival. Lively and historic, Cardiff is a wonderful city to explore on foot.
