So, you're coming to Cardiff. Wise choice. Cardiff is super lush. Most of us are super friendly, so if someone starts talking to you asking loads of questions. Yes, they are a bit nosey, but over all, just super friendly.
I've compiled a list of places and things you must do while visiting the Captial of Wales (Caerdydd) - Pretty, shitting good city. Tiny bit biased. Soz!

Do you like a food tour? Do you fancy a Welsh food tour? YES! Hey, I can help you with that.
Loving Welsh Food - runs food tours every Friday and Saturday. Starts around 10.30 and finishes around 2.30.
The tour will give you a taste of Wales, some crazy Welsh facts and you can learn a bit about the language too. Trust me, you won't want lunch (this tour fills you right up).
You get to taste - Welsh Dark (Welsh take on the Guinness) Did you know that Ireland actually stole the dark good shit from us and made it their own? Yep! True bloody story and a sad one.
You also get to taste Clarks pies and Faggots - it's meatballs made from minced off-cuts. Welsh laverbread, scons, bara brith and you also find out that Cardiff is Venice of the north (see pic below). For more information about the welsh food tour visit https://lovingwelshfood.uk/
This tour is around £45 per head and it's well worth it. If you're just planning a quick visit, this could work for you.
If you can't make the tour or you might be looking for more places to visit - Here's my super quick guide:
