WELCOME
Cardiff is a city of unique
attractions, world-class sport
stadiums, lively entertainment and
a vast range of accommodation all
within easy walking distance.
This year’s race takes in some of Cardiff’s
most iconic landmarks, from Cardiff Castle,
the Cardiff Bay Barrage to the Wales
Millennium Centre. After the race why not
explore and discover Cardiff’s progress from
a small settlement, to the world’s busiest port,
to the modern capital city it is today.
• Leave your car at home! Travel sustainably
and consider car sharing or public transport
via train or bus wherever possible.
• Avoid driving into the city centre to avoid
congestion.
• Travel by bike for the perfect warm-up
and use our bike park in Gorsedd Gardens.
Dining
Cardiff knows how to offer good food in
tasteful surroundings, with hundreds of places
to eat and drink. From the al-fresco dining
options along Mill Lane to the cosmopolitan
Brewery Quarter to Mermaid Quay’s wealth of
eateries overlooking the waterfront, there are
dining options to suit all tastes and budgets
in Cardiff.

TOP TRAVEL TIPS
Cardiff is ranked as one of the UK’s top six
shopping cities, with its combination of
designer brands, high street names and
independent shops. Whilst the St. David’s
Centre and John Lewis give scale to the
city, the delightful Victorian and Edwardian
arcades add a distinctly Welsh flavour to a
day out shopping.
