Things to Do in Cardiff

Cardiff packs a wide range of days out into a compact city, from the castle and civic core to the regenerated waterfront at Cardiff Bay. Escape rooms and treasure trails such as Puzzled Escape Rooms and the Cardiff Spy Mission Treasure Trail suit a couple of hours between other plans, while BBC Tours and City Sightseeing Cardiff's hop on hop off bus give a broader look at the city's landmarks and media links.

Active options are well represented too, with Zip World Cardiff, Boulders Climbing Wall at Culverhouse Cross and various reality and adventure experiences like Active Reality Cardiff and Flashpoint Cardiff offering something more physical. Families tend to mix a central sightseeing activity with an active or indoor option nearby, since most sit within easy reach of each other in and around the city centre.
