Hi, I'm ging to visit Cardiff in July, and I have some questions, any help isnhighly appreciated.

  • how safe is Cardiff? I'm gonna arrive at 11 p.m. and there is a 1 km to my Airbnb, is it safe to walk alone at night, or do you recommemd a taxi or something similar?
  • What's the best way to get around? I don't mind walking but would prefer something faster. Is there somewhere I can rent a bike for the week?
  • How predictable is the weather? Is it safe to pack according to the forecast?
  • I love trying local cuisine when travelling. Can you recommend any places to go to?
  • Can you recommand anything to visit besides the tourist attractions I can find online? I'm especially interested in Music, electronics/comouter stuff and History.
  • I assume everyone will understand english? Is it considered rude to just assume and just start speakimg english or should I ask if they speak english first?
  • Any other general tips you want to add?

I would agree with most of this. To clarify about 11pm, Cardiff City center has a vibrant nightlife and by 11pm, there will be many people who are very drunk as they need to get the last train home about then.

If you're looking for fancy restaurants, look up 'pasture' and 'six by neco'. Also Cardiff market has some surprisingly good food stalls, especially around the edges. If you're here for a while, it would be worth popping on the train to Newport market as the food there is carrier and really nice.

Is also recommend seeing what is on at both the principality stadium and the millennium centre while you're here as they're both great venues.

thanks for the tips, I'm usually fine with drunk people, I think I manage that. My concerns are more about walking around at night with a suitcase with all my stuff in it and getting robbed or something. Iirc My rbnb is in a neighbourhood called Whitechapel.

Thanks for the food recommendations, I will check them out.
