On foot
Cardiff, especially the central area, is pretty compact with the main attractions being quite close to each other making getting around on foot quite easy. Most sights are signposted to help you guide your way around the city centre and the bay.
By taxi
Cardiff is not short of taxis. They can be flagged down on the street or booked in advance:
Capital, â +44 29 2077 7777
Delta, â +44 29 2020 2020
Celtic, â +44 29 2045 2045
Dragon Metro, â +44 29 2033 3333
Although a lot of taxis in the city centre are black, they have no set colour. Licensed taxis have a yellow plate on the rear bumper of the vehicle.
By train
It can be quite cost-effective, quick, and easy to visit areas with a local train station, such as Llandaff Cathedral or Penarth Pier as services leave from both Cardiff Central or Queen St stations so check on maps for train services, if you'd rather this than the bus. The wider Cardiff metropolitan area including Penarth, Taffs Well, Pontypridd and Dinas Powys contains 26 stations, making train travel a viable alternative in many cases.
By Waterbus
For a different experience, the River Taff Waterbus runs regularly during the summer season between the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff Bay and Penarth. Tickets cost around £4 and are available to buy online.
