Cardiff may be one of the smallest capitals in Europe but that’s not to say you can’t easily pad out a week (or longer) with fun activities. Beyond the emblematic castle, the city center is awash with museums, shopping arcades, and pubs while there’s a music joint on every corner. BBC Cymru tours take you behind the scenes of the United Kingdom’s historic broadcaster and nothing beats the thrill of scoring tickets to cheer on the national rugby team. Idle down to the docks where you’ll find hair-raising speedboat trips and grandiose stage shows at the Millennium Center – Cardiff’s answer to the Sydney Opera House.
This compact urban center is a doddle to explore on foot whereas Bannau Brycheiniog National Park and Barry Island make for a great day trip. These are the best Airbnbs in Cardiff for couples, large groups, and families seeking a mix of everything the city has to offer.
