Cardiff One-Day Itinerary

In the morning, depart from Bristol 🚆. Purchase round-trip train tickets via "Trainline" – the journey takes about one hour. Arrive at Cardiff Central Station, located in the city centre, making it very convenient to access various attractions. 🎈 Cardiff Castle Student tickets cost £10 💷 – best to book in advance on the official website. The interior is beautifully decorated and definitely worth a visit. You can also climb to the top for a panoramic view of Cardiff! 🏰 🎈 National Museum The museum has a relatively small collection, and some exhibition cases were even empty 🖼️. It feels more like a general art gallery than a traditional museum, displaying paintings, ceramics, photography, and more – but it lacks a strong sense of historical depth. However, one exhibition hall was showing a video about the Japanese invasion of China (likely based on a Japanese veteran's memoir?) – it was deeply moving and thought-provoking. 😢 🎈 Cardiff Bay It’s a bit of a walk from the city centre (over 30 minutes) 🚶. There’s a Ferris wheel by the bay 🎡 – tickets are around £4. The area has restaurants where you can enjoy a drink 🍺 or a meal. On a pleasant day, it’s lovely to sit by the bay, chat, and feel the sea breeze. 🌊 🎈 Restaurant: Afrikana Location: CF24 3JD. The food and service were great! 👍 Highly recommend the Cheese Chicken – cheesy chicken served over fried rice. The meal for two (as shown) cost £33. 🎈 Restaurant: Wagamama Located near the city centre, less than a 10-minute walk from Cardiff Central Station. We had dinner here before heading back. Ordered the vegan chicken ramen 🍜 for £12 – tasty and had a hint of Chinese flavour! Feel free to use this English version for sharing or travel planning! 😊 #Cardiff #TravelUK #DayTrip #FoodRecommendation
