Welcome to Cardiff! The capital and the largest city of Wales, Cardiff is home to a thriving music scene and a host of multicultural activities and places of interest that promise to make your stay wonderful.Located on the south coast of Wales, the city is the sixteenth largest settlement in the United Kingdom. It is bordered to the west by the fertile plans of the Vale of Glamorgan, to the east by the city of Newport, to the north by the South Wales Valleys, and to the south by the Bristol Channel. The River Taff winds through the centre of Cardiff and the Rhymney flows through the east of the city.

Cardiff is a spectacular city and home to many tourist attractions including the Cardiff Castle, the National Assembly of Wales, St. David’s Hall, the National Museum and Gallery, Cathays Park (which includes municipal buildings modeled on those on New Delhi), Wales Millennium centre and the Cardiff Metropolitan Cathedral. Apart from these important places, tourists like to bring their families to Cardiff to enjoy the Big Weekend Festival and the Cardiff Festival, which claims to be the United Kingdom’s biggest free outdoor festival and takes place on the grounds of the Cardiff Castle.

In the centre of Cardiff is the Bute Park (formerly the castle grounds), which extends northwards from the top of the main shopping district, Queen Street. Combined with the Llandaff Fields, the park produces a substantial open space skirting the River Taff, and it is a lovely experience to cycle from Cardiff to Brecon on the Taff Trail. Other popular parks in the city are the Roath Park, which includes a boating lake; Victoria Park, the first official park of the city; and Thompson’s Park.

What’s more is, you will be truly pleased in exploring the music scene of Cardiff, since the city has produced remarkable musicians in the past and continues to do so even now. Among the famous musicians from this city are The Automatic, Catatonia, Super Furry Animals, Lost Prophets, The Stereophonics, Manic Street Preachers, and Shakin Stevens.
