Day 1: Morning departure from North Wales and travel to Cardiff to arrive early afternoon. After checking in to our hotel, the rest of the day is free to explore the vibrant capital city of Wales. Visit the many museums, indulge in some retail therapy or visit Cardiff Castle, where you can discover 200 years of history in the heart of the city.
Day 2: Free day in Cardiff to do as you wish. Indulge in some retail therapy, located in the city centre are big brand shops, fashion retailers and shopping centres. Cardiff is also home to many Victorian arcades offering an intimate environment for shoppers who enjoy an alternative to the well-trodden path of the high street. Perhaps visit nearby Cardiff Bay, a bustling waterfront harbour which, following a massive restoration project, is now jam packed full of things to do. The harbour area is brimming with restaurants and wine bars. The terraces provide the perfect spot for a lazy lunch, coffee by the waterside or to watch the sun go down in the evening.
Alternatively, join the coach for an optional excursion to St Fagans National History Museum. The museum stands in the grounds of the magnificent St Fagans Castle and gardens. Traditional crafts and activities bring St Fagans alive, in workshops where craftsmen still demonstrate their traditional skills. Their produce is usually on sale. Visitors gain an insight into the rich heritage and culture of Wales, and the Welsh language can be heard in daily use amongst craftsmen and interpreters. We return to Cardiff by approx. 3.00pm.
Day 3: After breakfast there is time in Cardiff for some last-minute shopping or sightseeing before the coach departs 2pm for the return journey home.
