Cardiff is a tourist hot spot popular for its history and Welsh culture. Once just an industrial city, Cardiff is now a modern capital with annual festivals, large shopping centers, and al fresco dining and drinking opportunities. It is also known as "a city of castles" because it is surrounded by 5 different castles. Getting around town to see the sites and landmarks is easy with the ability to reach destinations by foot, taxi, train, bus, bike, or waterbus. Cardiff Castle is one such "must-see" landmark, designed after a Roman fort and located in the heart of the city. Other notable attractions include The Millennium Stadium, the Norwegian church, Llandaff Cathedral, Castell Coch, Bute Park, and more.
