Discover Cardiff's vibrant history, stunning bay, and welcoming charm, easily explored on a relaxing, car-free Welsh adventure.
Cardiff, a vibrant capital steeped in history and brimming with modern appeal, offers a wonderful escape for those travelling through Britain without a car. Imagine stepping off your coach or train directly into the heart of the city, ready to explore on foot. Its compact, largely pedestrianised centre makes navigating a delight.
Begin your adventure at the magnificent Cardiff Castle, where Roman walls meet Victorian gothic architecture. Just a stone’s throw away lies Bute Park, a sprawling green oasis perfect for a leisurely stroll or a quiet picnic, easily accessible from the castle grounds. Wander through the city’s enchanting Victorian and Edwardian arcades, home to independent shops and charming cafes.
A short walk or a scenic waterbus ride will transport you to the bustling Cardiff Bay. Here, you can admire the iconic Wales Millennium Centre and explore Mermaid Quay, soaking in the waterside atmosphere. For those who love the outdoors, the Taff Trail provides a beautiful, traffic-free path stretching from the city centre into the surrounding countryside, ideal for a refreshing walk or cycle. Cardiff truly embraces a car-free lifestyle, inviting you to uncover its treasures at your own relaxed pace.
