Wales, located in the South West of Britain, isn't a large country. It's not filled with internationally-known landmarks, nor is it filled with iconic places to see. But what Wales is, however, is a charming getaway, filled with friendly local people who foster a welcoming culture. Its cities are its biggest draw, but outside of the cities are still one or two wonderful spots to visit.
The Biggest Welsh Cities
CardiffThe largest city in Wales is Cardiff. Situated in the county of Glamorgan, Cardiff is home to around 400,000 people. The city's main attractions are the Millennium Stadium, home to the Welsh National Rugby Team; the Waterfront; and the shopping centres. Of course, for those who love culture, there are also several prominent museums in the city. The National Cardiff Museum is the biggest, and is free to enter at all times. Naturally, as the city's capital, Cardiff is full of cultural venues to relax in. Antonis and Anna Loka are two of the city's most famed eateries. Both have national acclaim and have featured in Wales Online's Best Restaurants list.
SwanseaAnother of Wales' biggest cities is Swansea. Swansea is a coastal city, so it's not unusual to enjoy a stroll by the water here after a night out on the town. In fact, you can stroll along down by the marina any time you like. On a sunny day, it's a heart-warming place to be, made even more attractive by the boats that are docked there for a short stay. The Three Cliffs Bay is another place to visit in Swansea if you want to be down by the water. It's more green here, though, and more rural than it is in the marina. As you might have already guessed, there are plenty of water sports to take part in while in Swansea. Surfing, kayaking and paddleboarding are three of the most popular. They're also easy to get involved in, if you so choose.
