About Cardiff, Wales

Visitors to Cardiff will be able to experience an exciting and modern city that fully presents visitors with a destination that is replete with attractions both modern and historic.

The Roman and Norman civilisations were the earliest visitors to Cardiff and left behind the foundations of a castle that would stand the test of time. The city's development and wealth came later in its history, along with the redevelopment of the castle, which now serves as a popular tourist attraction.

Located in the city centre, the landmark bears the hallmarks of the societies that had a hand in its creation, including Roman walls, a Norman keep, medieval halls and Victorian design.

People enjoying a stay at the Copthorne Hotel Cardiff who are interested in delving deep into the city's history and heritage can visit the National Museum of Cardiff. The establishment is currently undergoing a major refurbishment but there are still a number of galleries open, including an exhibition focusing on the evolution of Wales. Another display, called Origins: In Search of Early Wales looks at topics such as the ancestry of the people that live in Wales today and how archaeology raises questions of what it means to be human.

Cardiff is home to plenty of other attractions where people can expand their horizons, including the St Fagan's National History Museum and the Butetown History and Arts Centre.

Arguably Cardiff's most famous attraction is one that has been part of the cityscape for less than ten years – the Millennium Stadium. This incredible venue can hold up to 74,500 people and regularly hosts events that are charged with a unique and electric atmosphere.

The Millennium Stadium offers entertainment to a wider audience than just sports fans, as it has hosted musical performances by some of the biggest names in music including Bruce Springsteen, Neil Diamond, REM, Girls Aloud, Shayne Ward, Westlife, Boyzone and Def Leppard.

Wales is a popular location for people looking for rural breaks, but anyone interested in experiencing the blend of modernity and history that contributes to this country's character will find everything they need in Cardiff.
