About Cardiff
Cardiff is a compact capital with a fairytale castle plonked right in its centre and a fierce Welsh identity in its bones.
The Victorian arcades of the old town shelter independent shops, while the regenerated bay opens out to the water and a famous opera house. On match days the Principality Stadium turns the whole city into a sea of red, and rugby here sits closer to faith than sport.
Wild Wales-mountains, coast and valleys-begins just beyond the suburbs.
Eat Welsh cakes off the griddle and a bowl of cawl, and join the pre-match pints by the river.
