Kids Days Out - things to do in Cardiff
more activities and days out in Glamorgan

Cardiff - As well as being the political capital, it is Wales's centre for business, education, sport, tourism, culture, media and government. The city of Cardiff is the county town of the historic county of Glamorgan. Cardiff was made a city in 1905, and proclaimed capital of Wales in 1955.
Shopping - You can shop 'til you drop' in Cardiff. It has all the major stores you'd expect to find in a capital city. But shopping in Cardiff's compact city centre is a special pleasure with the authentic Victorian and Edwardian arcades with their individual and specialist shops.  So whether you feel like splashing out in the malls or just mooching around the traditional Victorian Market, you won't leave Cardiff empty handed.
Things to do and Tourist Information
- Cardiff is home to an appealing variety of historic buildings, museums, and interesting sightseeing opportunities. The Cardiff restaurant scene has all the usual national chains and fast food joints, but part of the fun of travelling is sampling the local cuisine. Whatever your inclination, there's an exciting night life to be had in Cardiff from the hottest Cardiff clubs and bars as well as the coziest hole-in-the-wall spots.
