Cardiff in General Reviews

On Friday 16th October me and 4 friends flew to Cardiff from Inverness for my Hen weekend. My review will be based purely on what I did down there which was mainly the nightlife and eating out. (I was too hungover to go shopping!) Friday evening we arrived in Cardiff at 7pm at the Central train station which took us from Bristol. I ...  Read the complete review

Now I am biased having lived in Cardiff but it is one of my favourite cities in the world. If you've never been to Cardiff but are thinking of going this review will put down some of the places I think it's important to see and some information about the city I think may be useful. This is subjective and I hope it's of some use. Cardiff ...  Read the complete review

I've lived in Cardiff for 8 years now and I'm very happy here. I moved here to go to University, moved away when I had finished and then came back. I've been here ever since. I have lived all over the city in various parts and obviously some are better than others but on the whole, I think Cardiff is a great place to live. It's a safe ...  Read the complete review

I really like cardiff as a city. it's fun, vibrant, has a great friendly atmosphere to it and is really modern, as you'd expect a capital city to be. Cardiff has a good selection of shops, restaurants, bars, cafes and a really buzzing nightlife, perfect for all the students there. I've always found it to be a really friendly ...  Read the complete review

I am from Cardiff and having been around the U.K I find it one of the nicest and attractive cities without being too biased but there is no place like home. Cardiff has many attractions such as one of the best stadiums in the world millenium stadium, cardiff castle, cardiff university and the millenium centre. With Cardiff being such a small town ...  Read the complete review

With the construction of the new Wembley Stadium, the need to come to Cardiff for sporting events is about to be vastly reduced. Many people will already have visited Cardiff for some kind of event or other. Hopefully my home city left you with a good impression and the desire to return. If so, I hope what is written here is of some use in getting ...  Read the complete review

Welcome to what will probably be a very biased review. Cardiff is my home city and I love it. So biased I may be, but let me tell you why and maybe you'll agree that Cardiff is a great place to live and to visit. I've lived here all my life (apart from University up in London) and always picture myself coming back here after moves away. ...  Read the complete review

Twenty-four hours in a city normally means whistle-stop tours, rushed meals and a pocket full of expensive bus and train tickets. Thankfully, things are different in Cardiff, the capital of Wales. The city is so compact that nothing is more than 15 minutes away, which means visitors can spend a more leisurely time exploring the city. ...  Read the complete review

Now, Cardiff is not the most brilliant of towns or citys but it is good. The History is not much but has a Castle which does, hotels are plentiful, restaurants are good in general and it is a quite pleasant town... STAYING HERE Now, there are lots of hotels to go to. Popular ones are like the St.Davids Hotel and Spa- a luxury hotel ...  Read the complete review

I have travelled all over Europe, and seen some amazing places, but, as they say, there's no place like home! Although I'm not originally from Cardiff, it is such a lovely city with such a friendly atmosphere that right from the word go, I felt perfectly at home there. I loved Cardiff as soon as I started university in 1998, and ...  Read the complete review

I am currently studying at Cardiff university and living in halls of residence in term time. Cardiff is a compact city (maybe that's just my opinion as I've come from a city 20 times bigger)and easy to get around. The land is fairly flat so it is good for cycling and walking around town. It has all the big shops you ...  Read the complete review

Although city center of Cardiff seems an unlikely place to find a castle, Cardiff Castle is located in the city center of the capital city of Wales. Originally built as a fort in around the first century AD by the Romans. Around 1000 AD, the Normans built the wooden part inside the castle. The design of the improvements made in late ...  Read the complete review

I had packed the kids off at 8:20am to Groveland with the Youth club so decided to go down to Cardiff with my partner as normally the only time we go is for rugby or pop concerts. As we were approaching Cardiff I could see the signs for Cardiff Bay well posted. Having read a bit about how it had been rejuvenated I though lets have a ...  Read the complete review

The UCI cinema is located in a leisure complex in the excellent Cardiff Bay area. The complex is made up of a few bars, restaurants and a bowling alley. The immediate area of Cardiff Bay is top notch and getting better every week. However, the UCI cenima itself is not worth the price. Every time I go there the price seems to have gone ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

I want to rave about Cardiff, because the city deserves it! On the other hand, I don't want to spoil it by contributing to the Saturday crowds. Cardiff is without doubt something special. The air is relatively clean, shops abound (including lots of well-known names), and there are plenty of nice little places to relax with a drink. ...  Read the complete review

There is great debate between people who live in Cardiff and Swansea about which City should be the Capital of Wales. I lived in Cardiff for 20 years of my life and I have visited Swansea on numerous occasions. There is no doubt in my mind that Cardiff is the right choice. Cardiff has everything that you could possibly want. The City ...  Read the complete review

Cardiff, the capital of good old Wales in the UK. This busy, commercialised city has made it's mark on the map due to it having so much to offer. The heart of Welsh tales and myths weave in and out of this brilliant city. Cardiff provides large thriving shopping centres to spend in, ideal for daily or visiting shoppers. With a great ...  Read the complete review

I've spent more than 3 years in Cardiff already. For a capital city I can say that it is a peaceful place to stay in. The city is not as big as Manchester, Birmingham or London, and there is not much hassle. The main shopping complexes can be found in Queen Street and lots of high street shops are based there. For the first time visitor, ...  Read the complete review
