Overview
This tour will give you a complete overview of the history, culture, geography & architecture of Cardiff. The capital of Wales is a young city but also a fascinating place full of greenery, castles, waterways, Victorian and Edwardian splendour, forged around a strong, growing Welsh identity.
Cardiff wouldn't exist without the influence of its Castle, while modern Cardiff wouldn't exist if not for the development of the docks. By choosing this tour you will discover how the two sections of the city compliment each other, and how they gave us the city we have today.
Itinerary
Cardiff Castle
We start the tour at Cardiff oldest building and most prominent landmark. Discover 2,000 years of Cardiff history, from the Romans to the Bute family, before we set off on our guided walk of the city.
15 minutes
Bute Park
Cardiff is one of the greenest cities in Britain, and the centrepiece of Cardiff's greenery is the massive Bute Park, right next to Cardiff Castle. The Park features a river, stone circle, old monastery and more trees than you can imagine.
20 minutes
Cathays Park - Cardiff Civic Centre
Cathays Park is otherwise referred to as Cardiff's Civic Centre, the finest of it's kind in the whole of the UK. The neighbourhood features some of the most noteworthy buildings, parks and monuments in all of Cardiff. We'll explore war memorials, City Hall and more on this stroll through the area.
20 minutes
Cardiff Market
Explore Cardiff iconic central market, one of the cities most popular landmarks. Both traditional and moder alike, the market is more popular and diverse than ever before, yet it's location has a darker past than one might expect....
15 minutes
Principality Stadium Tours
While Cardiff Castle may be Cardiff's most notable old building, surely the Principality Stadium is its modern equivalent. Arguably the most well know structure in Wales, formerly known as the Millennium Stadium, the Principality is one of the world's most famous rugby arenas and unique in it's central location. The city of Cardiff arguably revolves around the events that's take place here, from international rugby to world class musical entertainment.
15 minutes
Royal Arcade
Cardiff has the highest concentration of Victorian and Edwardian shopping arcades, or galleries, of any city in all of the UK. Explore the city's oldest with its unique shops, distinctive architecture and fairytale charm.
15 minutes
N/A
Modern Cardiff just wouldn't exist today without its most famous suburb. Cardiff's most diverse neighbourhood grew rapidly in the nineteenth century as Cardiff became an industrial powerhouse and as people arrived to Wales from all over the world. The legacy of that survives in the buildings, people and streets of Butetown even today.
30 minutes
N/A
One of the city's most noteworthy and beautiful buildings, the Coal & Shipping Exchange was once the epicentre of the world's coal trading industry. Today it is a glamorous hotel which captures and maintains the splendour of its origins.
10 minutes
Mermaid Quay
What was once the biggest coal exporting port in the world is now one of Europe's most modern and revitalised waterfronts. Remnants of the glory age of industry survive today with some of the older, iconic buildings, but Mermaid Quay also contains a plethora of dining and drinking options which overlook a gleaming waterfront since the creation of Cardiff Bay Barrage in the 1990s. We will discuss the areas development and redevelopment over the past two centuries, as well as what the future holds.
20 minutes
Norwegian Church Arts Centre
One of the more unique or unexpected buildings in Cardiff is the Norwegian Church, as well as being one of the oldest surviving structures in the Bay area. Learn more about Wales' links with Norway as we take in the views of Penarth and the Scott Memorial at this point of the waterfront.
15 minutes
Roald Dahl Plass
Roald Dahl was born in Cardiff, much to the surprise of many. The city's most famous son, arguably, has been embraced more regularly in recent years and one sign of that is that the central plaza of the Bay area is named after the author. We will learn about the well known writer, his work, his legacy and his connections to Cardiff.
15 minutes
Wales Millennium Centre
The iconic modern structure of Cardiff Bay is no doubt the Wales Millennium Centre. It stands as a formidable, colourful and imposing shrine to the modern city and redeveloped waterfront. The architecture and backdrop are stunning, and fits as an ideal place to round off our four hour wander from Roman times to present day.
10 minutes
N/A
The Senedd, or Welsh Parliament, is the home of Welsh politics since its development as a building in 2006. It combines the heritage of Wales with the future and stands proudly overlooking the waterfront of Cardiff Bay. We will discuss Welsh politics and what the future may hold for this small but proud nation.
10 minutes
N/A
One of the city's most glamorous and imposing buildings is City Hall, the centrepiece of the Civic Centre or Cathays Park, and a monument to the pre-War golden age of Edwardian Cardiff. Entry may be possible depending on the time, day of the week and other events taking place at the building.
10 minutes
Pierhead Building
While the Millennium Centre is Cardiff Bay's iconic modern building, the Pierhead is surely the older equivalent. One of the most distinctive and unique looking structures in the city, it stands out from the surrounding area due to its shining red brick and tall clock tower. Learn its history, origins and present as we either pass by it or go inside depending on availability.

Local bloke gave us the Cardiff lowdown
Published on Aug, 2024
Andrew was my guide. Local guy, good bloke. Cardiff is a very pleasant smaller major city-way better than Madchester. He knew his stuff-natch. All good. Thanks!
Amazing time in Cardiff!

Absolutely great! We had an amazing time with Eugene. He knows a lot about the Welsh culture and was able to share with us perfectly.
Thanks to him we’ll have to travel to Wales again to eat more Welsh cakes.
I would totally repeat the experience with Fogos Free Tours and recommend to everybody!
