Learn about Cardiff's activities.

Gustavo:? I often visit websites like www.visitcardiff.com/events and www.whatsoncardiff.co.uk, and I also pay attention to the Facebook pages of schools and student unions? These are very useful resources.

Edita:？ Usually my friends will tell me what activities are in Cardiff. I have made good friends here and we often go out together.

Best way to travel

Gustavo:? All parts of the city center are very concentrated, so most places can be reached on foot.

Edita:？ It is convenient to use public transportation, but if you are not in a hurry, walking is the best way to experience the city. Cardiff is easy to reach everywhere, and there are many good parks, so don't forget to bring your camera.

Walking in summer: Guotai Park is one of many tree-lined places in Cardiff.

The best way to enjoy literature night.

Edita:？ It depends on your hobby, but my personal favorite is the Welsh Millennium Center in Cardiff Bay, where there are always many plays, musicals or ballet performances at the same time, some of which are world-famous performing groups. At the same time, there are often art exhibitions or performances there, which can be visited before or after watching the performances.

Gustavo:? I also agree that the Millennium Center is the best place to go. There are also many concerts in Motorpoint Arena, and there will be some dance activities in the bar in the middle of the week. There was no curtain call on Cardiff's cultural stage.

Venue for young artists: Our local gallbladder recommended the Millennium Center as an unforgettable night.

The best activity arrangement in sunny weather

Edita:？ Definitely Cardiff Bay. Whether you want to take a walk, taste a piece of cake in many restaurants, take a boat trip, watch an art exhibition in a Norwegian church, or experience artists yourself, Cardiff Bay is a must-see place when the sun is shining!

Gustavo:? Cardiff Castle looks good when the weather is fine, but I must admit Cardiff Bay is the best choice? Fun shops, tourist attractions and unique seaside scenery.

Minaret by the sea: The Norwegian church in Cardiff Bay is an art center and exhibition center.

The best activity arrangement in rainy days.

Gustavo:? Go to Cardiff National Museum. Art and natural history exhibits with various themes are all free to visit!

Edita:？ I suggest going to the historic arcade. Cardiff is famous for shopping, but it is unique here. I especially like to kill time in the antique bookstore here when it rains.

Never bored: shopping in the arcade (left) or enjoying Rodin sculpture at Cardiff National Museum (right)

The best place to eat out (suitable for students' consumption level)

Gustavo:? As a Brazilian, I recommend long live Brazil. This is a steak house with Brazilian flavor, and the lunch price is particularly favorable.

Edita:？ Designing cafes in arcades? Not bad: the price is suitable for students' level and the service staff is friendly.

Night view: Cardiff Bay has beautiful scenery all day.

Your favorite bar

Gustavo:? There are many good choices? Gwdih in Cardiff Bay? Moon Club, Metropolis, and Water Guard. Most bars suitable for students' consumption level are in JD Wetherspoon, and my favorite is Prince of Wales in Mary Street.

Edita:？ I will choose La Tasca in the wine-making area. Their tapas is well chosen. Saturday night is the salsa stage, and there will be live music! Even if you don't like dancing, you can't help but get involved! Queen street's revolution? Northern Cuba is also a good place to go with friends.

The best place for sports activities

Edita: This year, Cardiff was rated as the sports capital of Europe, so there are many activities. Since I am in Wales, I will choose the football match at Millennium Stadium. This is not only one of the most beautiful stadiums in Britain, but also an important part of Welsh culture. Everyone loves this sport, so you must experience it when you come to Cardiff! If you don't know the rules of the game, don't worry too much. The most important thing is to enjoy in such a unique atmosphere.

Gustavo:? If you want to take part in sports activities, Cardiff has many choices everywhere, such as tennis, football, mountain climbing, rugby, and even artificial ski resorts and snowboards in Cardiff Ski and Snowboard Center. But speaking of watching sports, yes, you must go to the Millennium Stadium to watch the Welsh rugby team. The best opponent is England!

Full of energy: rugby match between Wales and Argentina at Millennium Stadium.

The best place to shop

One voice: St. David? This place is very big, with all kinds of shops. Even if you don't find what you want, you can go to other shops in nearby queen street.

A scam of student discount or price reduction.

Gustavo:? People who like watching movies can get a BAFTA Welsh membership card. Most of the time, you can go to multiple cinemas to watch movies indefinitely, and at other times you can watch movies on sale. This membership card can also be invited to participate in previews and special events, and can also be discounted in shops, cafes and hotels in other parts of Wales. This membership card only costs 35 pounds a year.

Edita:？ Definitely the key to Cardiff Castle. The ordinary student ticket for visiting Cardiff Castle is 10.50? 13 pounds, but if you pay 5 pounds and show your student ID card, you can get the castle key, valid for 3 years, and you can visit the castle indefinitely!

Fragments of history: the Germanic motto of Cardiff Castle, students can be introduced for only 5 pounds? Keys? !

What was your best experience in Cardiff? Will you tell your grandson about that unforgettable experience?

Gustavo:? There is no doubt that it must be all the friends I have made here. Cardiff is a very friendly city and people are very sincere. I think this is also the reason why many international students come to Cardiff. I have many friends from all over the world here. They are the stories I will tell my children.

Edita:？ Since I came to Cardiff, I have gained many wonderful memories and enlightening experiences, and it is difficult to choose one from them. I will tell them to enjoy every day of their lives, not to be afraid to make impulsive decisions and not to be afraid to try new things. There are many places and people worthy of love in every place, and you need to look for them with your heart.

Exquisite style: Cardiff Millennium Stadium is located in the center of this modern city.
