The Welsh capital saw an accelerated evolution during the industrial revolution, becoming a global giant in the exportation of coal. As the 20th century progressed, the city used this income and international platform to build on its arts and culture industries. At its heart lies a 2000-year-old castle with a fascinating history, along with Welsh heritage museums, theatres, concert venues, a Millenium Centre and top restaurants. Nowadays, Cardiff has morphed into being a popular tourist destination, with a host of excellent hotels and activities, providing easy access from across the UK.
