There is a great holiday atmosphere in the bay with lots on offer, from a leisurely trip into the city centre by water taxi to a head-spinning blast in a fast rib. With lots of good quality restaurants and cafes, most enjoying great views, the choice is endless. We loved the variety of sculptures and statues, many thought provoking. You... More

Take a break here adn enjoy the boats and water, enjoy a coffee or afternoon tea More

There is a great variety of things to do and see here. Historic buildings, an amazing carousel, Welsh center, scads of restaurants, boat tours, walkways, and a real sense of a unique place to be for walking, shopping and eating. Very much a fun place. They have done a great job in taking a run down former industrial area and... More

As a Cardiff local, the Bay has blossomed into a place that I can take visitors.

Although this isn't really somewhere you could spend the entire day it is definitely worth a visit. The mix of modern and traditional architecture has been done in such a way to enhance the area and complement each other. There is a lovely variety of shops there as well as some good views not to mention the Millennium Centre and... More

We found this area has been nicely developed with restaurants, bars and a few shops, but it's too small and limited to live up to its billing. The short video at the port building is excellent, however, as it really teaches the history of the "coal port" in a few minutes time. More

I enjoy bays, and sea related attractions in general. I like seeing the views of the water, the animals, and eating fresh seafood. Cardiff Bay doesn't really have any of those things. It is a very dead area of town and any commerce things are almost entirely chain sort of restaurants. I did get to see signets, which was very... More
