Cardiff may be a young capital city, but it is a city steeped in history and culture. From the Romans to the Normans, from Tudor times to the Industrial Revolution and beyond, Cardiff has lived an eventful and full life despite its youth as a capital city. On this two-hour walking tour of central Cardiff we will discuss this journey of Cardiff from Roman outpost to the capital of Wales, which saw the city grow rapidly in size, population and wealth across the nineteenth century in particular. This tour takes in all of the major landmarks of the city centre, including Cardiff Castle, Bute Park, Cardiff Market, the Principality Stadium, and the spectacular Civic Centre. Discover not only the architecture and history of Cardiff, but the culture and characters of Wales too, from rugby, Welsh food and language, to the iconic figures who have made this country what it is today.

What's included in the package

Itinerary

Cardiff Castle

Cardiff Castle's history spans 2,000 years, from roman fort to gothic revival palace. We will discuss its history, unique features and the important families who owned this centrepiece of the Welsh capital.

Admission Ticket Not Included

St. John's is the second oldest surviving building in central Cardiff, a symbol of the original Cardiff village centre. Here we will discuss the origins and evolution of the city we have today from its humble origins to Welsh capital.

Cardiff Market

Popular with visitors and locals alike, Cardiff Market is over 130 years old and is as relevant today as ever before. Not only does the building have a fascinating, and horrifying, history, but it is the home of Welsh cuisine, such as Welsh cakes, Laverbread and Bara Brith.

Principality Stadium

The Principality Stadium is the home of Welsh rugby, is one of the most famous stadiums in the world and it sits right in the centre of the city. Discover our national sport and the Welsh national anthem at this iconic sporting venue.

Admission Ticket Not Included

Cardiff has more green space than people expect, and the icon of Cardiff's parklands is Bute Park. It's named after city's most significant family, and contains thousands of trees and more history than meets the eye.

City Hall

Cardiff's Civic Centre neighbourhood is the architectural wonder of the city, featuring iconic structures such as City Hall, the National Museum and Glamorgan Building, which all surround a fascinating park full of war memorials.

Castle Quarter Arcade

Cardiff's arcades are synonymous with the city, and serve as a reminder of the city's nineteenth century industrial heritage. Full of unique, independent shops, these streets are not to be missed.
