Best things to do in Cardiff and sightseeing in Cardiff
Cardiff Castle - Cardiff
The Cardiff Castle is huge and majestic. It is a medieval castle and Victorian Gothic revival mansion situated in Cardiff, Wales. As the castle is so big, the visitors are given a map of the whole castle and they can choose with ease which parts interests them the most. For me, I visited the House, the Keep and the Clock Tower. There is a gift shop too from where one can buy souvenirs.
Average ticket price is:
Adults (17-59yrs) £9.00
Senior citizens (60+yrs) £7.50
Students £7.50
Children (5-16 yrs) £7.00
Castle Lane - Cardiff
We walked from the station to the Castle Entrance in town. The walk in itself was beautiful. The town is old and you can find multiple local businesses which have been there for ages. Little dress shops, quaint restaurants, bakeries all adorned with flower baskets and topiaries. You can easily take a bus or a taxi ride, but I highly recommend the 10 minute walk.
We got to business straight away. To the castle, got the tickets and went in. Besides my wide eyed grin looking at a castle in flesh, everything was perfect. The weather, the temperatures and the flowers of course.
You can do so many things at the castle. Its a complete kid friendly zone and one could find frenzied, costumed kids all over the place. After all they had a real time castle to frolic and play fake princesses. I almost joined in.
You can do so much. Take your sandwiches or Aloo Parathas along to make it a picnic.
You could take a trek up the multiple towers. The hard work promises fantastic views of the castle and the greens all around. You can see the river Avon and a pretty little boat house. Come back and tell me if you are not inspired to paint!
Walk into a display that shows you knights and Richard Neville the Kingmaker is preparing for battle. Its a little spooky with man like statues and voices. If that's your thing,
Castell Coch - Cardiff
I loved this place because it looked like Rapunzel's castle to me. It was like those castles we have always visualized while reading fairy tales. It was a beautiful castle and and had so much historical importance. We went and in detail explored the whole of the castle, saw all the rooms and stain glass paintings. It was a very enriching experience.
