What to do and see in Cardiff, Wales: The Best Arenas & Stadiums
The Welsh capital may have begun its life as a Roman fort, but it's since become a bustling city. Where the fort once stood, Cardiff Castle has held court since the 11th century. It remains a central presence in the city, now full of lively art and music venues, hip boutiques, fun bars and modern hotels. Even with so many new and exciting things to see, the National History Museum is still the most visited attraction in Wales. Don't be the only visitor who plays hooky!

We attended the Wales versus Barbarians match last Saturday. Using the park & ride from Cardiff Football Club, we were discharged in Canal St, giving us ample time and opportunity to walk through the closed streets to enjoy the atmosphere. Anyone who has attended any live event, will know how special the atmosphere is, if you were there. After the usual pre-match preliminaries, we met up with other rugby loving friends, not least because they had our tickets, and were sheperded into the stadium, bags searched, and in our seats by 2.15, about half-an-hour before kick off. With the roof closed and the stadium well-lighted, we enjoyed the theatre before our eyes, with the Welsh Regimental band parading with mascot goat, and the massed male voice choirs singing Calon Lan, Cwm Rhondda, and of course, "Why, why, why Delilah". Finally, the players lined up, the anthems were sung and we were off. The final result with Wales winning 43 points to 33, was just about deserved, but the occassion was particularly special for another reason. It was the final game played by the great Ulsterman, Rory Best, and the final game the former Welsh coach, Warren Gatland would be coaching, this time the Baa-Baas, albeit his successor, Wayne Pivac winning their encounter. Once the game was over, and the final validictory was said, the stadium proper emptied very quickly, allowing us to pick up our return bus to the park and ride facilities out of town. The Millenium stadium has won a good reputation for handling these big games and its well-deserved, and apart from the outrageous prices paid for snacks and drinks, it was jolly good day out.

I visited just before Christmas and was fortunate to watch the match from a hospitality box. Not too impressed with the Dragons and a well earned red card was issued to them. Quite a match with a draw looking likely close to the end but a penalty secured it for the Blues. Great service from the hospitality staff and all grounds staff particularly security were really friendly and helpful. A great venue still.

We were sat in block 1 row h, great views and could see him clearly, drinks pricy but that's expected as they always are at places like these, also we paid to go in the exit 7 bar at 5pm and James arthur didn't come out until 8.45 so was abit of a wait... arena big and seats comfortable and plenty of room, I've seen him in Liverpool empire and this was much better. Plenty of bars to get drinks and snacks, quick getting in and out, people trying to come up the isles closer to the stage were pushed back to their seats by stewards which is good as we had paid to be close to stage and they started to block the view. Great night overall and would 100% recommend and return for future concerts
