Back To All Cardiff Venues
Cardiff’s history is rich and varied and can be traced back thousands of years. The city and its surrounding areas have been inhabited since at least the Neolithic Period (10,000BC-2,000BC). The city began as we know it thanks to the Romans, establishing a defence there around 75AD, laying the foundations for what would later become Cardiff. The Welsh capital grew rapidly during the 19th century, when it became a major coal-exporting power, contributing to its quick industrial growth, economic prosperity, and reputation.
Today, Cardiff is celebrated for its role as Wales’ cultural and sporting hub. The city boasts many national and cultural institutions such as the Welsh Millenium Centre, The National Museum Cardiff, and the Welsh Government Building. It is also known for its sports, with the Principality Stadium hosting major rugby and football events, alongside to Cardiff FC.
The restaurant scene is diverse and vibrant, offering a wide range of culinary experiences to residents and visitors alike. The city boasts a range of venues, including traditional Welsh and British pubs, trendy cafes and Brunch spots, and delicious fine dining. From high-class Michelin starred establishments, to comfy family owned spots, there is something to suit every taste and budget.
Cardiff is home to many iconic landmarks, including its many castles, Caerphilly Castle, Cardiff Castle, and Castell Coch. Fancying something a little more educational, try St Fagans National History Museum, National Museum Cardiff, or Techniquest.
