Customer Reviews
Fairly cool castle, but not particularly memorable for me. Not worth the $20 and the view from up top is nothing spectacular. I went on a Tuesday afternoon and it wasn’t busy. The gift shop had a nice selection of trinkets.
Cardiff Castle is absolutely amazing and one of the highlights of the city. I stayed at a hostel named Mrs. potts which is very close to the castle and it made my stay even better. The castle is beautiful, full of history, and very well preserved. Walking through the grounds and inside the castle feels like stepping back in time. The interiors are stunning, especially the decorated rooms, and there is so much to see and learn. The views from the castle are also great and worth the visit. The guided visit is great and everything is explained to you through the app. You can listen to the audio guide while you see everything and it makes your experience super rich. I loved it. The location is perfect, right in the city center, and easy to access. Overall, it’s a must-visit place in Cardiff and an unforgettable experience. Not too expensive. Highly recommended. 10/10!
We spent a lovely morning here. We didn't do the tour to see extra rooms in the castle, but will do that on our next visit. As it had been raining heavily the previous day, and overnight we didn't climb the steps up to the keep as they were looking very slippery and still wet. It is worth a visit.
