Cardiff proclaimed itself as the capital city of Wales in 1955. As the biggest city in a whole country, and also the most popular tourist destination, every part of Cardiff provides wonderful services to every visitor. There are a lot of beautiful Hotels in Cardiff, interesting museums, and restaurant. Arts and crafts can be found in some market inside the city. It’s all in reasonable price.

Where to spending the night? Well, I went there twice, and pointed my way to a beautiful Hotels Cardiff just near the bay. The price is so friendly for me, and the services are wonderful. Besides, it has a very beautiful view. Oups. There’s another more important additional service in that hotel! Marine Spa! Don’t forget to try its special treatment!

    My wife and I absolutely love Cardiff! We thought the Cardiff Bay area particularly was attractive and vibrant, but when you also throw in the history, like the castle and the lovely old shopping arcades, you just can’t beat a city break here.
