I spent 4 long happy years in Cardiff whilst at university. The city is one of the prettiest and cleanest city's in this country.
Cardiff is served by a good public transport system which makes it easy to get in and out of Cardiff at all times of the day. The only thing that let's Cardiff down on transport is the lack of facilities for the late night reveller to get home, without forking out a fortune on cab's that is.
Cradiff is served by a vast range of shopping area's with all the large high street brand's present. Cardiff also support's a number of shopping arcades which are home to "the more fancier" clothes shop's if that your thing.
Since Cardiff hosted the rugby world cup, things have steadily improved with a vast amount of night spot's and eateries opening up all the time. The huge information screen in Queen Street is also very usefull for advertising local events.
There is a huge range of nightspots to suit everyones desire from hardcore dance, too cheezy 70's night's and quite local's.
Cardiff is a very open and green city, as there is a vast areas of open park land, and playing fields dotted all around the city, its easy to get away from the stress' of city life need be.
If history and architecture is your thing, then Cardiff won't dissapoint, their is a vast range of site's ranging from the magnificent castle, to the more civic venues of the museum and town hall.
What really makes Cardiff special is the friendly outlook of its' natives, they are are really what makes the city special.

Sorry to give an SU, but I found the review to be really general. If you took out the word "Cardiff" then it could apply to pretty much any town. You could perhaps add more detail, e.g. don't just say that there are some more exclusive shopping arcades, but say what they're called, where they are, etc. The same goes for things like pubs, clubs and green spaces. As you lived there for a bit you must have some really useful knowledge to pass on!

If you update the review, please let me know, I'll come back and re-read it. (Email address is on my profile)
