Cardiff in one afternoon?

Bute Park, behind Cardiff Castle, is one of the best city parks anywhere in the world.

Castel Coch can be reached on the 132 bus which leaves central station every twenty minutes. You do have to pay to get in though.

Go down the Bay & see the Doctor Who exhibition & try Cadwalader's ice cream on Mermaid Quay. Your tastebuds will love you.

Potter round the arcades. You're sure to find something that takes your fancy.

Enjoy!

Also there is a brewery 1/4 where you can grab some food, there is a selection of restaurants including thai food, a mexican style place and lots more.

Enjoy your afternoon in cardiff!

Castell Coch ( named because of the sandstone it's built with) is beautiful. Well worth a trip. It's just outside Cardiff in a pretty little village called Taffs Well. In Cardiff itself? The shopping centre is pretty big. Mary street has so many bars and eateries you'll be spoilt for choice. You could visit the museum,castle, park, indoor market and the Bay is stunning. IUt's recently had a makeover and has really nice bars and views of the marina.

Go to Cardiff Bay, there's the millenium centre and the stadium, plus there's loads places in Cardiff where they filmed torchwood :p

It depends what you like...

Cariff Castle

A noce walk in Cardiff bay

G to a resterant in cardiff bay

Co the the Melenium stadium, take a tore

go shopping.

My fave would be carddiff bay as the opera bay is near by and if you do want to got shooping it is about a 10min walk away, plus (if you are into this) you can see the bit silver tower seen in torchwood!

I live in caerphilly 8 miles from cardiff, and the only sights in my view worth seeing, are the Museum of Welsh Life in St Fagans, Cardiff, and the Museum of Wales in Cathays, cardiff. Cardiff castle and Caerphilly Castle are interesting to. See below.

Cardiff Castle and Millennium Stadium

dont go to the shops as all shops are the same everywhere.

check here for a thinks to do in cardiff. an afternoon is not enough for what cardiff has to offer. you will have to come back for more. enjoy.

Obviously it depends on your interests, but I'd recommend spending some time walking round the centre, including the civic centre (see photos - http://www.freefoto.com/preview.jsp?id=1054-01-5&k... The National Museum of Wales is here and well worth a quick browse (since it's free) - http://www.freefoto.com/preview.jsp?id=1054-01-5&k...

Cardiff castle is quite impressive, but you might not have time for a full tour - see details here - http://www.cardiffcastle.com/ The grounds are really nice and you can enter the part behind the castle without paying.

That's almost opposite the Millennium Stadium, which is worth a look. Tours are apparently very good (I haven't done one, but I've been to several matches here) - see here for details if that interests you - http://www.millenniumstadium.com/3473_3523.php

I'd also recommend you spend a bit of time in Cardiff Bay - http://www.cardiffbay.co.uk/ It's a regenerated area with lots going on and is great place just to wander round.
