CardIff Docks was the busiest coal exporting port in the world. The Coal Exchange is one of Cardiff's most iconic buildings, and it was where the world's first million-pound cheque was signed.

I've lived here all my life, I still really enjoyed watching this, I love it here, I hope you found us all welcoming!

Actually, you can walk all the way to Penarth across the barrage ;-) Glad you enjoyed your visit to my city. There's still much more to see, and I hope you take the time to do so.

Not having chocolate in Welsh cakes though 😉

As a Valleys kid, together with my Mam, I would visit Cardiff about once a month travelling by Red and White bus from Blackwood. It was a fascinating place to a young kid.
I started work there in 1965 for Cardiff City Council in its housing and estates department which was then on Greyfriars Road. That's when I fell in love with the city.
It is one of my two favourite British cities the other being Edinburgh.

Enjoyed your perspective of Cardiff. Glad you liked the city too. I left Cardiff for London when I was 16 in 1971, in that time though I lived on the Continent and in Dublin. I´ve lived here again permanently since 2013. A love reborn! I adore my home city now and it is good to see it through other people´s eyes. Thanks you for posting. There´ll always be a welcome for you in Cardiff.

Nice video of my hometown, and great to see the logo and graphics we designed for Fabulous Welshcakes too (they are good cakes aren’t they even though I’m slightly biased…). They were our very first client when we set up…
Great to see you enjoyed Cardiff, there’s a lot of great stuff here, and there are more dinosaur prints out past Sully too, though some have gone missing and other have been taken to keep them safe from being stolen… all the best with the channel.

I really need to spend more time in Cardiff! Last time I was there, I loved walking around Cardiff Bay and would recommend it anyone visiting the city. On the outskirts of Cardiff you can visit St Fagans, an open air museum where buildings from all over Wales have been rebuilt. There's loads to see there and it's free entry. Also I would recommend Castell Coch, which you can see from the M4. The Marquess of Bute rebuilt a medieval castle to make a fantasy Victorian Gothic castle which is quite unusual. It's looked after by CADW, so if you are with English Heritage, you can get in for half price in the first year and for free after that...

You can never get tired of Cardiff. There are so many beautiful buildings, arcades, lovely shops and friendly people. I wish I lived there. Mary H.

Best Welsh cakes are in Cardiff market. That fabulous is a rip off. half the size and more than double the price.

@michaelzzzzzzzzzzzz 3 years ago

Really is a great city. Within 90 minutes, you have great beaches, mountains, and fairytale castles (Castel Coch)
What's also great is that it's small enough to get around but big enough to have lots to see and do.
Not sure if you tried St Fagans a free outside museum where they have just reconstructed the oldest pub in Wales after it wad knocked down a few years ago.
And what about the arcades, ar Christmas time they are magical.
Great city and like the rest of the UK we don't give ourselves enough justice
