Cardiff
Although Cardiff has only been acknowledged as the political capital of Wales for around half a century, it has long been the cultural centre of the country, and defined much of the politics and identity of the Welsh people for generations. Thanks to heavy investment over the past twenty years or so, Cardiff has become a destination that offers plenty for visitors to see and do, as well as providing access to some of the most interesting parts of the country.
Cardiff has always been an important port city in the south west of the UK. Although never gaining the same status as Bristol as an international centre of trade, it became an important place within the coal industry as the main export point. This lead to a great deal of wealth in the city as well as an influx of people from all over the world that gave Cardiff a more cosmopolitan feel than many of its neighbours. The Tiger Bay area has long been a place which has been home to many cultures.
Amongst the highlights of any visit to Cardiff are the castle, which has a superb art gallery, and the Millennium Stadium – one of the most modern arenas in the country. The new Cardiff Bay development is at the heart of modern Cardiff. It boasts a major arts centre and the Welsh National Theatre alongside many bars and restaurants that make it the main area for night life in the city.
If you book car hire in Cardiff, you can visit Barry Island, which is a traditional seaside resort town with theme parks and beaches. Not far beyond Swansea, you can enter the Gower Peninsular, one of the most noted areas of natural beauty in the UK. With rolling sand dunes and quiet beaches, the landscape of the Gower Peninsular has been protected by European law, and is a great place to walk or bird watch if you want to spend some time away from the bustle of the city of Cardiff.
