We came here to visit friends last week and had a really nice time. Took a walk around the Mermaid Quay area and went inside the Millennium Entertainment complex. Lots of lovely bars, cafe's, and restaurants. We went inside the old Parliament building and a very informed lady explained a lot about the building. Would like to return and go to a concert here.

Definitely worth a visit along the wharf at night. Well lit up and picturesque with many modern bars and restaurants as well as some older buildings. It would be good to come back in the summer when it is a bit warmer!

You can spend a pleasant though not spectacular hour here checking out the buildings such as the Millenium Center, Norwegian Church and the Wales Parliament. While nice there is no must see site here and almost all the restaurants are chains. Riding the boat from Bute Park is a nice way to get here.

Really enjoyed our afternoon in Cardiff Bay - formerly Tiger Bay. Europe’s largest waterfront redevelopment project. Got the water taxi from Bute Park (25 mins and undercover) which was a lovely way to travel. Some iconic buildings to photograph and visit, white Norwegian Church - where Roald Dahl was christened and worshipped, Millennium Centre (Welsh language words on the copper clad building) and slate clad Senedd Welsh Assembly building the main ones. Fun fair for the children and a few cafes and restaurants also.

Cardiff Bay and all it has to offer is fantastic. From buildings to quayside attractions it is the perfect ace to spend a few hours in the Welsh capital. The far side is the Cardiff Bay trail and well worth a wander

Been to Cardiff bay quite a few times over the years and we are always impressed. Lovely atmosphere and picturesque! The only thing we find there can be a bit of litter but we witnessed many people just chucking rubbish on the floor which shocked us. They should be fined on the spot.

We travelled down to Mermaid Quay by the Waterbus from Bute Park, close to the Castle. £7.00 pp each way, A lovely ride and the bay didn't disappointing, we were lucky to see it on a warm sunny day. Lots of lovely restaurants and walks.

Great view and a must see for Torchwood fans. We went on a rainy day so I imagine there is much more buss in good weather. But the view of the bay is nice, there som restaurants and several interesting buildings to both look at and visit. And fun to see the out side of the Torchwood headquarter

We spent two days, 19th and 20th October, in the rather spectacular Cardiff Bay, filled with historic and modern landmarks. On both days we walked around various sections of the waterfront. The weather was not always our friend but we made the most of it. There are some stunning and immediately eye catching buildings, old and new side by side, including The Senedd, the Welsh Parliament, Millennium Centre and the historic Red brick Pierhead Building. Another feature that cannot be overlooked is the seventy foot high metal water tower, located in Roald Dahl Plass. Also there are the tall pillars, think there are seventeen, they are more attractive when illuminated at night. However walking around there is so much more to been discovered including the Statue of Ivor Novello, one of Cardiff's famous sons. There is also the Seafarers Memorial, in front of the Senedd. There are four old cannons, in front of the Pierhead Building, facing out across the Bay. Famous Welsh rugby players are celebrated with the Rugby Players Statue. On the ground, near the waterfront the Cargoes Poem plaque can be found. Also nearby is the large Celtic Ring. Nearby is the Flourish Fountain and statue of Mahatma Gandhi. The Norwegian Chapel and Art Centre is located located in the Bay. By the waterfront there are a number of kiosks selling boat tours, which depart from the nearby jetties. On the Friday morning we had intended to take the water taxi from the Bay into the City, this was cancelled due to the weather, so we took the train. Also in the Bay is Mermaid Quay which is filled with bars, restaurants and shops.

Lovely area to wander and walk to Penarth Marina excellent. Visit Pierhead or the Assembly. Of course Norwegian Church where Roald Dahl was christened and the barrage. Plenty of cafes n restaurants if feeling peckish.
