Cardiff is the perfect example of a capital city that manages to be grand yet completely laid-back. Right in the heart of town is the extraordinary Cardiff Castle, which has evolved from a Roman fort and Norman keep into a lavish Victorian fantasy. A short walk away, you'll find elegant Victorian and Edwardian arcades filled with quirky independent shops, while over at Cardiff Bay, the revitalised waterfront buzzes with great restaurants, the Wales Millennium Centre, and the Senedd. And if you happen to visit on a match day, you'll hear the roar of the Principality Stadium echoing through the streets.

Because it's so compact and welcoming, Cardiff is an ideal spot for a coach break. Touring by coach lets you head straight into the centre without having to worry about city traffic or hunting for a parking spot. Once you've arrived, you can explore the castle, browse the arcades, wander along the bay, or venture further afield to discover the stunning coast and castles of South Wales. For a lively and affordable city getaway, simply compare our Cardiff coach holidays and book the escape that's right for you.
