A sports travel guide to...
CARDIFF
If you plan to visit the Welsh capital then try and get a ticket to watch the national team in an international rugby union match at the Principality Stadium. Rugby weekends in Cardiff are superb and the Welsh rugby fans are as good as any sporting crowd anywhere in the world. Cardiff’s not just a rugby city though - there’s also football, ice hockey, cricket, golf and plenty of major sporting events to enjoy throughout the year.
