Travel and transport agencies Cardiff

DARK WALES TOURS offers original guided tours and walks in the footsteps of history and ghosts! Special mention should be made of the Cardiff Castle Ghost Tours and the St Fagan's Museum Ghost Tours, during which you'll be immersed in the legends and ghost stories of Cardiff's surroundings. An absolute must if you want to discover or rediscover Cardiff from another angle... Be warned: these are strictly guided tours, not paranormal investigations or ghost hunts!

Since March 2009, the city library of Cardiff has taken possession of an ultra-modern and unmistakable monument, built alongside the St. David's 2 shopping centre. Free access to computers that can be booked in advance, and the Internet. Practical and, as its name indicates, central!

The main station, Cardiff Central, provides easy access to most Welsh towns and some English cities. To the south: direct services to Merthyr Tydfil, from where you can reach the town of Brecon; Swansea, the main town on the Gower Peninsula; Chepstow in the Wye Valley... The Cardiff-London Paddington journey takes around two hours (departures every half-hour, round trip: between £40 and £100 depending on time of year and timetable).

The local bus company runs the Cardiff and Barry routes exclusively. Tickets can be purchased at Cardiff Central Library (The Hayes) or directly on the bus (in cash, remember to top up, or by contactless credit card). Cardiff is very well served and the bus will take you quickly from the center to the bay, usually from 6am until 11pm on average. Don't hesitate to check their website for information on any disruptions or works on your route.

If you'd like to discover the Welsh capital from a different angle, the boat option is a great alternative. This boat-bus runs between the city center and Cardiff Bay, every day, all year round. It departs from Bute Park, near Cardiff Castle, and arrives at Mermaid Quay, in the heart of the bay. More than a simple trip, you can take the 45-minute mini-cruise option to discover the wonders of Cardiff Bay and the Wetlands Reserve. Practical: PRM access, dogs allowed, bicycles authorized.

The airport is located some 20 km south of Cardiff. There are direct flights to Paris, Marseille and Bordeaux. To reach the center of Cardiff, you can take the train from Rhoose station, which is close to the airport. Bus 905 takes you to the station, where you can catch a train to all major cities in Wales. Bus 304 also passes through the station and continues on to Cardiff city center.
