Cardiff City Tour
Follow the story of Wales's capital from an early Christian site and a Roman fort to a Victorian market, a world of performance and today's Welsh democracy.
How the route works
The route connects Llandaff, the city centre and Cardiff Bay. We will confirm the meeting point, travel between areas and any interior visits when planning your tour.

Designed by William Harpur and opened in 1891, this lively market continues a trading tradition on the site stretching back to the 18th century.

Wales Millennium Centre
At the heart of Cardiff Bay, Wales's national arts centre adds performance and contemporary Welsh culture to the city's story.

Cardiff Bay
Once a major coal-exporting port and home to the communities of Tiger Bay, the waterfront now brings Cardiff's industrial past into its present.
