It’s a really wonderful traveling experience to visit cardiff. The Welsh capital has changed dramatically over the last decade, and there is still major renewal going on, as is evidenced by the amount of building and reconstruction that is taking place. Most noticeable of all, particularly for the visitor emerging from the railway station, is the looming modernity of the Millennium Stadium, which dominates the skyline on the western edge of the city centre. The central area, with its seven delightful Victorian shopping arcades and traffic-free streets, extends from the railway station to the impressive castle. Wales as a whole has grown in self-esteem since the Welsh National Assembly was formed in 1999, and Cardiff has been a focal point in the development of the nation’s new, empowered identity.

I only spent an afternoon in Cardiff but it was really neat. I loved the castle- especially the stone zoo animal gargoyles outside.

The Museum in Cardiff is also interseting and I think there is a mining museum nearby that I’d like to visit on one of my trips there.
Caerphilly Csstle has some interesting folklore attached to it that make the interior a bit more fun if you use your imagination.
