Cardiff is the capital of Wales and has undergone a complete transformation in the last few decades with a growth of an urban, metropolitan district that has preserved many historical sites, but also built new hotels, restaurants and shopping districts. The city was founded during medieval times, and has since grown to become one of the most-visited destinations in the United Kingdom.  Whether you're looking to explore historic castles or want to learn more about local culture, here are some of the not-to-be missed attractions in Cardiff, Wales:

The Wales Millennium Centre
One of the more recently built venues in Cardiff, this centre was opened by the Queen and serves as the venue for local and national opera performances, dances and musicals each year. Live performances at this theatre are a major draw for many visitors and locals, and it's a beautiful building that serves as an example of Cardiff's modern architecture.

The Cardiff Museum
The Cardiff Museum is a showcase of artifacts, paintings and sculptures from the small town that Cardiff once was. You'll find a small library on site, and a wealth of exhibits that provide some insights on old Cardiff traditions and culture.

National Museum and Gallery of Wales
Learn about the archaeological and geological foundation that the city was built on, and see dozens of Impressionist paintings up close. The National Museum and Gallery of Wales is a popular destination for locals and visitors alike, and you can pick up some souvenirs and gifts from the gift shop on site.

City Hall
You can't miss the giant domed roof of City Hall, one of Cardiff's biggest city landmarks. The marble hall houses artifacts, sculptures and paintings, and you can take a tour of the grounds to learn about the famous Welsh heroes that once served the city.

The Millennium Stadium
This decade-old stadium can seat over 74,000 people, and hosts a number of rugby and football (soccer) games throughout the year. You can take a tour of the grounds to see where famous games, including the FA Cup Final, were once played.
