Neighbourhoods
The circular trail for cyclists and walkers is 10km (6.2 miles) long. It runs around the Bay and across to the seaside town of Penarth via Pont Y Werin, a 140m bridge providing a link for pedestrians and cyclists between Penarth and the International Sports Village.
Along the trail, you can enjoy Cardiff’s rich heritage, see historic landmarks, such as the Norwegian Church, alongside iconic buildings like the world renowned Wales Millennium Centre and the Senedd, the Welsh Assembly’s building. The vibrant waterfront cafés, bars and restaurants give the Bay a special, unique appeal.

The third of the arcades making up Castle Quarter is Castle Arcade. Sitting on the opposite side of Cardiff’s High Street facing High Street & Duke Arcades, Castle Arcade was constructed between 1882 and 1889. The arcade is particularly famous for the balconies that split the shops across two floors and two large arches mirror each other on either end of the arcade, seen perfectly from the second floor. Castle Arcade is home to an eclectic mix of independent stores including Portuguese bakery Nata and Co, bar Gin and Juice, and Barker’s Tea Rooms sister café Coffee Barker’s. There’s also a choice of fancy dress stores, high end independent fashion and jewellers, as well as a choice of hairdressers

Linger in leafy Pontcanna
This fecund neighbourhood northwest of centre is where Cardiff grows all green and lovely. With tree-flanked thoroughfares strung between the four parks of Pontcanna Fields, Llandaff Fields, Thompson’s Park and Victoria Park, it seems expertly tailored to the roving gastronome, its bars and cafes, many in swanky set-back townhouses, dotted every couple of blocks. The thrumming community hub is the Chapter Arts Centre: a focus for innovative cinema, theatre, exhibitions and talks.

The Taff Trail is a popular walking and cycle path that runs for 55 miles between Cardiff Bay and Brecon in Wales. It is so named because it follows the course of the River Taff. Along much of its length, it follows the National Cycle Network Route 8 that continues to Holyhead, and is substantially off-road

Admire world-class art and artefacts at the National Museum
Fronted by a lovely landscaped park, the National Museum would be a wonder for its domed, colonnaded early 20th-century façade alone. But its sublime art collection catapults Cardiff onto the world stage. One of Europe’s most dazzling displays of impressionist and post-impressionist art headlines, whilst the Evolution of Wales exhibit whisks you on a vibrant 4600 million-year trip through time in Wales from the Big Bang onwards.

This is one of the world’s very best open-air museums, where buildings from across the country and its most seminal periods of history have been dismantled then faithfully reassembled across delightful 100-acre grounds enfolding St Fagans Castle. The result is a touching architectural tapestry of Wales, weaving together such edifices as a Middle Ages farmhouse, 18th-century chapel, WW1 miners’ institute and legendary early 20th-century Cardiff boozer The Vulcan Hotel.
Insider Tip: Save time for the imposing Elizabethan manor house of St Fagans Castle itself, as well as for the brilliantly recreated Iron Age roundhouses and llys (court) of medieval Welsh prince Llywelyn Fawr.
The museum is free; the parking you pay for (£6.50).

Bars
Cardiff might be synonymous with S.A. Brain & Co, Wales’ biggest brewer, but the capital is at the cutting edge of Welsh craft beer too. Newport-based, national beer award-scooping Tiny Rebel brewery opened Cardiff’s first craft beer bar in 2013 and the city has since spawned Pipes Brewery, operating out of Pontcanna, and Crafty Devil brewery, with outlets in Pontcanna and Penarth.
