Public Transport

Cardiff offers excellent connectivity across the UK. Frequent train services link many cities directly to Cardiff, complemented by easy access via the M4 motorway. Once in Cardiff, navigating the city centre on foot is a breeze. For a unique perspective, visitors can take a waterbus connecting the city centre and Cardiff Bay, or hop on the City Sightseeing bus, which provides insights into the local heritage and culture along the route. For those looking to venture beyond the city centre, Cardiff is an integral part of the South Wales Metro network. The network boasts 20 railway stations throughout the city, including major hubs like Cardiff Central and Cardiff Queen Street, situated right in the heart of the capital. Public transport in Cardiff is run by Cardiff Bus (Bws Caerdydd), which covers the urban area.
