Cardiff city centre is dominated by its 2,000-year-old medieval castle but stroll a little further and you’ll find another of its unique charms – the many Victorian arcades that run between the main shopping streets. Today they’re filled with independent cafés and shops – perfect territory for shopping. That is if you have time between all of the Welsh capital’s ace activities. Remember: if you revisit this page in early April, you’ll find an all-new selection of events. Enjoy!

Year-round attractions

Cardiff Central Market has been going since the 1700s and has been at this site for more than a century. The Victorian structure houses a variety of traders, selling fresh produce to homeware, clothing, records and more. The market is a five-minute walk from Cardiff Castle, so stop by for some cake and coffee from Celtic Corner, Donnellys or Bull Terrier Café.

Having opened in 1894, Spillers could well be the oldest record shop in the world. They claim to be at any rate. Regardless of their longevity, this modest music haven is full of gems for those willing to look. The walls are lined with vinyl, there's merch hung up around the place, and notable bands regularly perform in the shop.

Cardiff International White Water hosts all kinds of sports and offers the only white water rafting course in South Wales. Hop in a canoe, try ‘hot dogging’ or tackle their indoor wave machine, which is perfect for surf lessons. There’s a viewing area for family and friends to laugh – ahem – watch you on the water.
