Cardiff's Absolute Essentials

Cardiff's landscape spans from the Victorian stalls of Cardiff Central Market to the modern engineering of the Cardiff Bay Barrage. The city’s history is preserved at the open-air St Fagans National Museum of History and the neo-Gothic Castell Coch, once a home to the Marquess of Bute. Visitors can explore the 130-acre Bute Park, the Grade I listed Pierhead Building in the revitalized docks, or attend international events at the Principality Stadium. Llandaff Cathedral and the civic architecture of Alexandra Gardens further highlight the capital's architectural heritage.
