WHY CHOOSE CARDIFF FOR YOUR NEXT CONFERENCE, MEETING OR EVENT?
Cardiff is in every sense a capital city. Young, diverse, fast growing and vibrant, the capital of Wales has an enviable reputation for its connected business community - recognised by the British Meetings and Events Industry survey as one of the UK’s top 10 destinations for conventions, conferences and business meetings.
Cardiff is a small, compact capital city, with all amenities, attractions, hotels and venues close to one another. It is well connected by rail and road and offers convenient flights from many European and worldwide destinations. It’s a 15-minute city, where top hotels and conference venues are just a
short stroll away from one another. St David’s, Cardiff’s newest shopping centre, City Hall, Cardiff Castle and the Principality Stadium are also right in the heart of the city centre.
Cardiff Bay is just 10 minutes away by train, bus or taxi. Here, the magnificent Wales Millennium Centre, the Senedd building of the National Assembly and the historic Norwegian Church overlook one of Europe’s most stylish waterfronts.
