Trips to Cardiff
While on trips to Cardiff, you can experience a wide range of fun attractions and activities. The National Museum and Gallery Cardiff has an impressive display of fine arts, especially Impressionist and post-Impressionist paintings, and an exhibition - the Evolution of Wales - that will take you back in time 4,600 million years using robotics and audio-visual effects.
The Museum of Welsh Life, about 4 miles north of the city, features over 40 original buildings relocated from throughout Wales to create a Celtic village of 2,000 years ago and a glimpse of life from the past. Craftspeople will show you their traditional skills in saddlery, tannery and mill. The House of the Future showcases the best practices in energy conservation and life in the 21st century.
Admission to both the National Museum and Gallery Cardiff and the Museum of Welsh Life is no charge.
On trips to Cardiff, a must do is visiting Cardiff Castle

Cardiff Castle combines Roman Foundations, a 12th century Norman keep and a Victorian mansion in an opulent juxtaposition of styles. Stop by for a guided tour of the castle apartments or a traditional Welsh banquet and evening festivities.
Nearby Castell Coch is a mock-Medieval castle decorated in a similar style to romanticize Medieval life. Reduced rate admission tickets to Cardiff Castle, Castell Coch and Caerphilly Castle are available to provide a few days of castle-touring.
On a tour of Wales’ most iconic building, Millennium Stadium, you’ll walk down the player’s tunnel and imagine the thrill of being greeted by 72,500 cheering fans. This tour also takes you behind the scenes to the dressing rooms and training areas and describes how the stadium is transformed for rugby matches, concert performances, and car races. You can’t miss the Stadium - it dominates Cardiff’s skyline from every approach into the city.
Cardiff has an international reputation as the events capital - enjoy trips to Cardiff to check it out.
