Tour & Travel Packages to Cardiff

In fact the official status of being a capital did not help the city much, though the city has always been life, full of music and had a bright and colorful nightlife that was mainly due to a great number of students in its universities.

Situated on the narrowest part of the south Wales coastal plain, Cardiff had a crucial strategic importance in the wars between the Normans (who had occupied lowland Wales) and the Welsh who maintained their hold on the uplands. As a result Cardiff claims to have the largest concentration of castles of any city in the world. As well as Cardiff Castle and Castell Coch, the remains of Twmpath Castle, the Llandaff Bishop's Palace and Saint Fagans Castle are still in existence, whilst the site of Treoda (or Whitchurch Castle) has now been built over.

Cardiff Bay has greatly changed from its past as the world's largest coal exporting port to a modern sport and leisure complex. It has got much to offer for those who prefer active rest to passive one and vice versa as one can go in for some kinds of sports there and have pleasure in watching championships. These are only some of places that are worth seeing if you visit the city: Capitol Centre. St. David's Shopping Centre, Techniquest, Cardiff Bay Wetlands Reserve, Queens Arcade Shopping Centre, Llanishen Leisure Centre and Cardiff Market.
