Cardiff Sightseeing
Introduction | Coach Station | Lifestyle
As befits a European capital city, Cardiff has more to offer the visitor than you could ever hope to cram into a single holiday, and no matter what you're into, if you take a bus to Cardiff, you won't be disappointed.
Fun-packed and family-friendly
If you're looking for an action-packed holiday with the family, hop on a bus to Cardiff and you'll find a city that's welcoming to kids and adults alike, whatever the weather.
Why not head down to Cardiff Bay, a 500-acre freshwater lake created by the Cardiff Barrage, where intrepid adventurers can try out all manner of water sports - including white-knuckle, white-water rafting.
And when the British weather lets you down, there's plenty you can do and still stay warm and dry after taking the bus to Cardiff. Kids will love Techniquest, a hands-on science centre in Cardiff Bay, filled with experiments, gadgets and puzzles, to keep them occupied for hours on end. Buses to Cardiff also take you to the UK's largest swimming facility - Cardiff International Pool - which boasts an indoor beach and a leisure pool with several flumes, as well as a 50-metre Olympic pool.
Castles and Daleks
If history's your thing, then Cardiff has over 2,000 years of it to offer, from Roman remains to the proud industrial heritage of Cardiff Bay. Buses to Cardiff set you down a short walk from the magnificent Cardiff Castle, with its Victorian gothic apartments and 12th-century Norman keep, and a short walk up the road is the 13th century Caerphilly Castle, the second largest in the UK.
And for those whose tastes are more up-to-date, a bus to Cardiff is all you need to explore the place where famous TV series Doctor Who was filmed and where its spin-off, Torchwood, is based. Hardcore fans can even come face-to-face with their favourite characters at the Doctor Who Exhibition in Cardiff Bay.
