Cardiff at a glance

Cardiff, or Caerdydd, is the largest city in Wales and one of the easier capitals to find your way around: compact and walkable, built around a castle, a river and a bay.

First dates

Level, accessible and easy to reach: a handful of Cardiff favourites for a relaxed first meeting.

Right in the middle of the city, with accessible areas and plenty of cafes close by.

National Museum Cardiff

Free and accessible, with art and natural history under one roof, ideal on a wet afternoon.

Roath Park

Getting about

Getting around Cardiff

Trains from Transport for Wales and buses from Cardiff Bus have accessible services, and the main sights in the Bay and the centre come with Blue Badge bays, level access and accessible toilets, and the bigger venues add Changing Places facilities. A coffee at Mermaid Quay or a lap of Roath Park lake is an easy first plan that is simple to extend if things are going well.

Eligible disabled people in Wales can get a free bus pass, so getting from Roath, Canton or Penarth to a date in the Bay need not cost a penny.

Good to know

Cardiff: your questions

What makes a good accessible first date in Cardiff?

Cardiff Bay is hard to beat: flat, accessible and full of places to eat. Bute Park, Roath Park and the National Museum are good alternatives.

How does Cardiff rate for getting about with a disability?

Well, for the most part. The centre is compact, trains and buses run accessible services, and the larger venues have Changing Places toilets.

Can I meet people from Newport, Swansea or beyond?

Of course. The people you see first live in and around Cardiff, and members in the Valleys, across Wales and further afield are a message away.
