Cardiff castle is a must visit if you come here. it is worth it to pay the entrance fee if you enjoy the history and culture. seems to date back to the 3rd century time of romans. the old roman wall is evidence of the same. if you go as a group i would recommend to take a guide since some areas like the castle tower and castle rooms can be accessed only with guides

Great experience. we booked the tickets online and the price is quite reasonable. inside the castle you can walk around and explore the wall and also enter one of the buildings. the staff was very friendly and professional. they really took care of the building and you can appreciate the effort put into renovation, making it a very unique historical place to visit. totally worth it.

It is an extremely beautiful castle that has lived for more than a dozen centuries. it was originally built by the romans as a fortress, but now only the reconstructed northern gate remains from those times, and only a couple of square meters of real masonry. later, the place outlived the anglo-saxons, the normans, and the tudors, and everyone who could be outlived (and outlive us too 🙂). i highly recommend visiting both the main tower and the black tower. on the right side (from the entrance) there will be a huge building of various facades of different gothic styles, it is also undoubtedly worth a look, because it contains the whole history of this place from medieval times and the middle ages.

Wonderful castle. looks like a dream castle. well preserved. tickets are on the higher side but worth to visit if going to cardiff. lots of walking, it has different sections centred on roman age, palace, world war and the medieval castle itself
