Day 1 - Unraveling the Charms of Cardiff

We start our journey right at the heart of Caerdydd, or Cardiff as you may know it. It's time to put on your explorer's hat and begin with the iconic, enchanting, breathtaking Cardiff Castle (Castell Caerdydd). A remarkable visit giving you a surreal feel of medieval times. Catch your breath, because we are off to the next spot - the famed National Museum Cardiff (Amgueddfa Genedlaethol Caerdydd). Here you'll engage with the most exquisite art pieces and classic historic collection that Wales has to offer. Ready for a little stroll? Head down to the Cooper's field (Cae'r Cooper). A beautiful laid-back park, a perfect setup for a calm evening walk. Don't forget to fill your stomach afterwards, we have reserved a dinner at one of the city's top restaurants, where you can sink your taste buds into scrumptious Welsh cuisine.

Day 2 - Revel in Natural Beauty and Spectacular Shopping

Out of bed, adventurer! Let's energize ourselves with a lovely breakfast before we tug our shoes for a trip to breath-taking Cardiff Bay (Bae Caerdydd). Take your time to explore, savor the panoramic views, and you might even bump into some seals if you're lucky! Next, we’ll dock to the ultimate shopping experience at the St David's Shopping Centre (Canolfan Siopa Dewi Sant), from high-end fashion to charming trinkets, they got you covered! Finally, unwind at the Mermaid Quay (Cei'r For-forwyn), a lively waterfront filled with countless buzzing bars, eateries offering tasty local bites. Trust us; you'd wish you had more than one stomach!

Day 3 - Indulge in Arts, Leisure and Farewell Feasts

On our final day, it's time to plunge into city's vibrant arts scene. Start with the Millenium Centre (Canolfan y Mileniwm), truly an architectural marvel inside out. Witness heart-tugging performances from renowned artists or relish the brilliant exhibitions. Craving the outdoors again? Have some leisure time at Bute Park (Parc Bute), an expansive, picture-perfect setting ideal for recharging and relaxation. We close our journey with a farewell dinner at a delightful local eatery, because there's no better way to bid goodbye to a city than to have a hearty feast with its flavors lingering in your mouth, right?

FAQs about this
3 day itinerary in
Caerdydd

What's the best time to visit Caerdydd?

Cardiff or Caerdydd can be visited all year round. But to make the most of your trip, consider planning during late spring and summer months, from May to September. The weather is delightful, and you can fully embrace outdoor activities.

Any popular local dishes to try?

Absolutely! Don't miss out on 'Welsh cakes', a local snack that's like a cross between a cookie and a pancake. Also, give 'Cawl', a hearty Welsh stew, a shot! And not to forget the quintessential 'Welsh Rarebit', a savoury infusion of cheese on toast.

How easy or hard is to navigate around the city?

Cardiff is relatively easy to get around. It offers excellent public transportation systems like buses and trains. But for the most immersive experience, we suggest walking or cycling around the city center and Cardiff Bay.
