Cardiff (Welsh: Caerdydd) is the capital and largest city of Wales. It used to be an industrial city, but is now a lively and modern capital city and a tourism hot spot. The city is friendly to pedestrians, and summer is by far the best time to visit, with large festivals, and outdoor dining and drinking.
了解
The city centre has been intensely developed in the 21st century, and is now considered to be one of the top ten shopping destinations in the United Kingdom. Cardiff is a green city, and this is complemented by Bute Park which sits in the heart of the city. It has a reputation as a city of castles, having 5 of them within its surroundings. As of 2023, the city's population stands at roughly 360,000, with 1.1 million living in the metropolitan area.[]
Cardiff is on the south coast of the South Wales plain, with a shoreline on the Bristol Channel. It lies at the mouth of three rivers: the Taff, the Ely and the Rhymney, with the Taff flowing through the city centre and all three reaching the sea at Cardiff Bay. Cardiff is quite a flat city, a characteristic that helped it become one of the world's leading ports for the transport of coal from the rugged south Wales Valleys.
市
, Cardiff Castle, Castle St. Mar-Oct: M-F 10AM-5PM, Sa Su 9AM-5PM; Nov-Feb: M-F 10AM-4PM, Sa Su 9AM-4PM. The Visitor Information Point hosts a variety of literature including brochures, flyers and maps.[]
Cardiff's city centre is in the southern portion of the city just north of Cardiff Bay. It is traditionally centred at the castle, bounded to the north by the historic civic centre, large Bute park arboretum and university buildings, by the River Taff to the west, and by the Valleys and National rail lines to the east and south respectively. Growth is pushing the city centre beyond these boundaries, especially in regard to commercial office and residential provision. In particular, the area south of the original city centre towards and including Cardiff Bay has been almost completely redeveloped.
A unique feature of the city is its friendly local population; you can strike up a conversation with almost anyone you meet and speak as if old friends, whether on the bus or in the queue to buy something in a shop. These brief friendly interactions throughout the day make Cardiff an ideal city for lone travellers. The city has a long history of inter-racial marriages and a thriving gay scene making it one of the most welcoming and tolerant cities in the UK.
Cardiff is popular for location filming; Doctor Who has been made here since 2005, and Casualty since 2011. It also has a rich musical history, being the site of many escapades by the famous bands of the Welsh indie music movement such as Catatonia, Super Furry Animals and the Stereophonics. The stunning St. John the Baptist church, gracing the centre of the city, is food for the soul and nearby the Rummer Tavern pub one of the oldest surviving in the city is food for the spirit. Cardiff is the venue of many football and rugby games due to the state-of-the-art stadiums, and Cardiff International Arena's many events such as Comic Con Wales. The Bay area is rich with bars and restaurants and is home to the famous Wales Millennium Centre where one can see anything from comedy to ballet and opera.
Cardiff is a city of life and learning having a huge student population during term time. Many graduates choose to remain due to the friendly and inclusive nature of the city.
历史
It is possible to walk, bike or ride across Cardiff almost entirely via the parks: the Earl of Bute’s lasting legacy to the people of Cardiff. Summer days see the city parks fill with sun-worshippers and snow days see them fill with people playing and snowball fighting with each other![]
Cardiff's history follows its castle, which has been occupied since the Romans created a fort on the river Taff over 2,000 years ago. The name 'Cardiff' may have come from 'Caer' = fort, on the 'Taff'.) The fort's original walls can still be seen highlighted around the base of Cardiff Castle's walls. In Medieval times the castle grew, and a small town spread from its south gate; the Medieval street pattern can still be seen around High Street. In the 15th century, the town was destroyed by the last great Welsh prince, Owain Glyndwr. Successive owners fortified the castle and the town timidly grew until the Industrial Revolution, when the 2nd Marquess of Bute built the Glamorganshire Canal to transport coal from the Welsh valleys through Cardiff's docks.
Combined with the later arrival of the railways, Cardiff's population exploded and the docks grew to become the largest coal-exporting port in the world. At its peak, the price of the world's coal was determined at Cardiff's Coal Exchange and the first ever £1,000,000 cheque was written here in 1901 (equivalent to £124,000,000 in 2020). Cardiff was the third largest port of the British Empire, resulting in Edward VII granting Cardiff city status in 1905. With the rise of the city's fortunes, the Marquis of Bute transformed Cardiff castle into a fairytale gothic palace. He also donated land to build the civic centre which contains the City Hall, National Museum, university and government buildings, all built in elaborate neo-classical Baroque styles out of white Portland stone.
The Marquis also commissioned the architect William Burges to design many public and residential buildings in a distinctive Gothic style - many are still visible in the city centre and the inner suburbs. Wales did not have a de jure capital until 1955, when Cardiff was chosen as the largest city. However, with the post-War decline of coal, the city's docks became increasingly abandoned, and in the 1990s the city's transformation began with the building of a barrage to stop the world's second-largest tidal range from revealing dirty mud flats, and creating what is today Europe's largest waterfront regeneration project.

简介[]
Cardiff has a strong sporting and cultural presence given that it is the capital city, and therefore plays host to most Welsh sporting events, especially since the opening of the Millennium Stadium in the city centre. One of the city's charms is when it plays host to matches, the city centre atmosphere can be extraordinary, being swelled by 75,000 attendees and thousands of revellers.
Cardiff used to be quite a gritty city with the port and industry playing a huge role — Cardiff's ports were once among the most important in the world. Notable milestones were when Cardiff Bay (sometimes called Tiger Bay) was the first area of modern Britain to be thought of as a multicultural area given the huge part immigrants played in the city's ports. The area is still home to one of the oldest and largest expatriate Somali communities in the world. The world's first 'million-pound' deal was also signed at the Bay's own Coal Exchange building.
何时去
The city has moved away from its industrial past, however, and has been transformed by developments such as Cardiff Bay, which now hosts famous and striking landmarks such as the National Assembly for Wales and the spectacular Wales Millennium Centre. Massive investments have also been made throughout other parts of the city, such as the opening of the Millennium Stadium and the massive Saint David's shopping centre.[]
抵达
Cardiff is best to visit during late spring to early autumn as the warm weather adds to the city's pleasures and allows maximum experience of all the sites and areas of the city. Although the city usually benefits from mild weather all year round, like much of Wales it also receives substantial rainfall, especially in winter. Being close to the sea and having a comparatively mild climate compared to other parts of England and Wales it also avoids much of the snowfall seen in other parts of the country in winter.乘飞机

[]
卡迪夫被称为“拱廊街之城”，是时尚购物的绝佳去处，而维多利亚式拱廊街本身就值得一游。它们有许多小商店、食品市场等。高档家居用品店包括Banana Custard（儿童用品）。
Queen St、St Mary's Street和The Hayes是主要的步行购物街，都从城堡分支出来，因此可以轻松地从一家商店走到另一家商店，而不必担心交通。Queen Street有大部分的Marks and Spencer、Topshop和River Island。The Hayes经过翻新，旁边是巨大的St David's购物中心，吸引了包括Hugo Boss和伦敦以外最大的John Lewis在内的几家大品牌。St Marys Street是卡迪夫最初的购物街，先是随着Queen Street的步行化而逐渐衰落，该街转向餐馆、酒吧和俱乐部，然后在市政当局一年一度的交通封闭试行期间。St Mary's Street现在大部分路段已成为步行街，工程仍在进行中，但值得一看，因为市中心最宏伟的建筑都沿着这条街，包括威尔士最大、最古老的百货公司（Howells by House of Frasier）、中央市场（Central Market）的壮观入口以及拱廊街的精美入口是特别的亮点。
- The Hayes. 该区域在2010年代经历了大规模改造，包括耗资6.75亿英镑的St Davids购物中心扩建，以及伦敦以外最大的John Lewis百货商店。一个新的公共图书馆建在街道的另一端，取代了原来的图书馆，现在是卡迪夫的博物馆，称为“老图书馆”。这里现代建筑与街对面历史悠久的商店和拱廊街形成了鲜明对比，已迅速成为该市高端市场的购物街。
- 中央市场, St Mary Street. 市场成立于1891年，拥有各种各样的摊位：艺术品、手工艺品、食品、纪念品，甚至宠物。特色是一家小型面包店，提供各种口味的新鲜、价格实惠的**威尔士蛋糕**（包括素食选项）。
- Queen Street，St. Mary's Street和The Hayes是卡迪夫市中心的主要购物街。Queen Street有Marks and Spencer、Boots等商店，以及通往现代St Davids和Queens Arcade购物中心的入口，后者在Hayes也有入口。将旧的St Davids购物中心、更大的现代扩建部分、John Lewis和Queens arcade结合起来，它们构成英国最大的室内购物中心之一。St. Marys Street是大型的“Howells”或House of Fraser商店的所在地，还有许多售卖独一无二商品的拱廊街，许多拱廊街在Hayes也有入口。
- 城堡前和拱廊街内有许多面向游客的商店，可以去看看，在那里可以找到许多威尔士纪念品和礼品。
- 在Hayes、Church Street或St Mary St附近的空气清新的室内市场里，可以从Ashton的摊位购买鱼。
- 在Castle Arcade的Madame Fromage购买奶酪。
- 在Morgan Arcade购买音乐，这是世界上最古老的唱片店Spillers Records。除了销售音乐，这里还是购买另类音乐会门票的主要场所。Spillers由Henry Spiller于1894年在Queen’s Arcade的原始地点创立。

注意安全
[]加的夫是一个相当安全的城市，比英国大多数其他主要城市都要安全，市中心的犯罪率远低于格洛斯特、北安普顿和德比等规模小得多的城市，也远低于伦敦、伯明翰、利物浦或利兹的市中心。然而，加的夫的汽车盗窃犯罪率相对较高。确保您从车内移走所有贵重物品，尤其要放在外面；夜间不要将车停在亚当斯敦（Adamsdown）等内城社区光线昏暗的街道上，如亚当斯敦（Adamsdown）、斯普洛特（Splott）、河畔（Riverside）或巴特敦（Butetown）。如果您需要在夜间停车，市中心的几个停车场提供整夜停车的廉价费率，并且完全安全。加的夫似乎不像许多规模相似的英国城市那样，被显眼的红灯区困扰。然而，亚当斯敦（Adamsdown）的海洋路（Ocean Way）等地在冬季的夜晚和傍晚最好避开，因为该地区以卖淫闻名。任何被抓到在路边兜客的人都可能被警察拦下盘问，尽管大多数情况下，您只会得到指示离开。
酒精相关的暴力事件在加的夫的部分地区很常见，尤其是在周末，在圣玛丽街（St Mary Street）和格雷弗莱尔斯路（Greyfriars Road）周围聚集的俱乐部和酒吧，因此要格外小心，避免冒犯任何人。（加的夫湾（Cardiff Bay）在这些时间通常比较平静，麻烦也少得多。）此外，和任何城市一样，有些区域在天黑后最好避开：同样，这些区域包括亚当斯敦（Adamsdown）、斯普洛特（Splott）、巴特敦（Butetown）以及河畔（Riverside）的南部。巴特公园（Bute Park）夜间大部分区域没有照明，所以最好也避开。
下一站
[]- 格拉摩根谷（Vale of Glamorgan），位于加的夫西南方向，包含维多利亚时代的滨海小镇彭纳思（Penarth）和巴里（Barry）。考尔德里奇（Cowbridge）是西部一个风景如画的小镇。圣多纳茨城堡（St Donat's Castle）是这样一个景点，一座保存完好的15世纪防御工事，几世纪以来不断增建。芳蒙城堡（Fonmon Castle）也令人印象深刻，而废弃的奥格莫尔（Ogmore）坐落在一个美丽的环境中。康梅斯顿湖（Comeston Lakes）是另一个美丽的地方，有一个维护良好的乡村公园。
- 绝美的格拉摩根海岸（Glamorgan Heritage Coast），距离加的夫以西约10英里，从兰维特迈杰（Llantwit Major）延伸至奥格莫尔海滨（Ogmore-by-Sea），雄伟的侏罗纪/石炭纪悬崖提供了布里斯托尔海峡的壮丽景色，而那些狭窄的乡村小路（特别是通往奥格莫尔海滨的路）提供了威尔士最壮观的驾驶路线。
- 彭纳思 - 维多利亚时代的滨海度假胜地，现在是加的夫以南的一个郊区。被称为“海边的花园”，拥有美丽而历史悠久的码头。附近的Lavernock还有一个Cosmeston中世纪村庄，一个“活历史”的中世纪村庄。
- 布雷肯比肯斯（Brecon Beacons）和布雷肯（Brecon）镇位于北部。
- 可以尝试乘坐火车前往纽波特（Newport），然后乘坐巴士前往凯尔利昂（Caerleon）参观那里的罗马圆形剧场。它保存得相当完好，能真实地让人感受到罗马人如何使用这个空间。
- 可以作为一日游前往赫里福德（Hereford），乘坐火车或汽车。
- 切普斯托和廷恩（Tintern），这两个迷人的古镇拥有令人惊叹的石头遗迹，位于英格兰边境。
