Cardiff in Wales

Hi everyone, 

Last wednesday we went to Cardiff, capital of Wales. We have really enjoyed the city, let us tell you how was this trip ! 

We arrived at 11.30 AM from Bristol, that we visited the day before. First we decided to see the Millenium Stadium, the famous area of the wales rugby team. The stadium is in the center of the city, it was easy to find it. 

The Millenium Stadium 

 Most of us really like rugby, so we decided to visit the stadium together. There was a visit which started at 1 PM, so after lunch, we went to the meeting point to begin. We learnt lot of things with the guide about the stadium. In fact, it is a multifonction stadium which can receive 74 000 persons for differents events like rugby or soccer games, but concerts and runs too. It is the third biggest stadium for rugby behind Stade de France and Twinckenham and it has a retractable roof. 

The amazing size of the Millenium 

 

 

We came on by the players reception and we visited the changing room of the wales team, the conference room too.

After this, we went in one of the lunch room localized behind the tribunes of the second floor. These rooms can be sell for one match, but you have to reserve two years in advance! The price depends of the game (which team, which period...)

In cardiff there is a castle too. We didn't visit it because it was expensive, but we walked in the parc near of the castle.

After, we visit the town center, the city hall and the national museum. We really liked how the city was.

 

Finally, we took the bus to comeback to Bristol and after Stoke at 18PM. It was our first trip in Wales and we really enjoyed it. Cardiff is a such beautiful city! 

We hope you enjoyed this article guys, and see you soon for the next adventure in UK!
