When packing for a trip to Cardiff, don't forget the essentials like your visa, passport, chargers, camera, some GBP and the correct power adaptor. Clothing wise, check out the seasonality guides and pack to suit the conditions - aka plenty of  layers for winter and lighter options for summer. Other necessities include a raincoat, walking shoes, hat, sunglasses and some wellies.

Cardiff is an incredibly walkable city, so you shouldn’t have any issues navigating all the sites. With this in mind, travellers generally opt to stay around the CBD so they are close to public transport and Cardiff Castle.

While Cardiff isn’t winning any prizes for year-round sunshine, it does give travellers the chance to experience all four seasons. Summer offers the hottest temps and long, sunny days between June and August, while winter will bring the cold, fog and snow between December and February. If you’re not a fan of the cold and are keen to make the most of your Welsh days abroad, we recommend visiting in April, May, September or October.

Cardiff is come to more than 20 castles packed with unique Welsh history just waiting for you to explore. Travellers can also use the city as a base for trips out to Rhoose in the Vale, Bridgend and Vale of Glamorgan.
