Cardiff Bay is the home of many sites – the Oval Basin, Lightship 2000, the Victorian-style Pierhead Building – that can fill your day. At the Cardiff Bay Visitor Centre, you'll find souvenirs, stamps, postcards, and films for sale, and you can watch a multiple-screen video presentation of local events and festivals. Cardiff Bay is in the process of undergoing extensive renovations, and there are several balsawood, scale models at the centre showing how the area will look after the renovations are complete.

These open-air, double-decker buses are excellent ways to get acclimated to the city of Cardiff. The guides on these tours are both funny and knowledgeable. The buses stop several times throughout their route, and your pass conveniently allows you to leave and board as many times as you want throughout the day. Buses usually circle every half hour, and you'll want to get there as early as possible in order to get a seat on the top.

Cardiff's 75,000-seat Millennium Stadium is located in Cardiff Arms Park. This multipurpose stadium has a retractable roof, fitness center, and rugby museum. A beautiful wood-plank pedestrian pathway begins on Castle Street, continues alongside the River Taff, and finally leads to the back of the stadium. In the area behind the stadium, the concrete pathways are inlaid with the crests of different rugby squads who compete against Cardiff and are lined with flags. A tour of the stadium facilities, whose foundation stone was laid by Tony Blair in 1997, is available.

Located on the waterfront in Butetown, Cardiff's Norwegian Church Arts Centre showcases exposed trusses, round windows set in gables, and a Gothic stained glass window. Founded in 1867 as a place of worship for visiting seamen, the building fell upon hard times and was deconsecrated in 1970. It was rebuilt and moved to its current waterfront location in 1992 and is now open to visitors. Children's literature writer Roald Dahl, who was born in Cardiff, was baptized here as a child.
