Essentials in Cardiff
Cardiff Castle: Once home to the Marquis of Bute, this huge castle is the top attraction in the city. The Roman ruins and Bute part of the fortress are amazing and the 19th century interiors are quite something.
St Fagans National History Museum: Voted the UK's favourite attraction in 2011, St Fagans is an open-air museum with reconstructed houses and buildings from across Wales. It's amazing and is a great day trip with a Cardiff car hire.
Cardiff Bay: This is Cardiff' cosmopolitan side. The bay is filled with restaurants, cafes, bars and is a hot spot to spend the evenings or pass away a sunny afternoon.
