Cardiff Bay

Having been in the throes of redevelopment for a good few years now, especially around the Cardiff Bay area, the city has several new attractions. The old favourites (Cardiff Castle, Llandaff Cathedral and the museums) are still popular and as worthy of a visit as ever, but they must now compete with the newcomers, most of which are concentrated on the waterfront. For this reason, visitors could consider Cardiff Bay as one huge tourist attraction and approach individual sights as components within it.

Attractions are dotted all over the city. The Millennium Stadium and Cardiff Castle, for example, are in the city centre, the National Museum and Gallery is a short distance away, at Cathays Park, while the Museum of Welsh Life is in St Fagans, on the city's western outskirts.
