About Cardiff
Cardiff is the capital of Wales, with a castle in the city centre, Victorian arcades, a waterfront bay and a rugby stadium in the heart of town.
Cardiff Castle stands in the middle of the city, with Roman walls, a Norman keep and a Victorian Gothic interior created for the Marquess of Bute. Bute Park, along the River Taff, runs from the castle walls to the city's edge, and the Principality Stadium, the home of Welsh rugby, towers over the centre. Victorian arcades hold independent shops, and the covered market sells Welsh cakes.
Top-ranked sights in Cardiff: Barry Island (Ynys y Barri), Cardiff Castle (Castell Caerdydd), Caerphilly Castle (Castell Caerffili).
