Cardiff Travel Forum

Hi I am going to the quarter-final rugby world cup game in Cardiff on the 6th of October. I couldn't get accommodation in Cardiff, so I am staying in Bristol, thinking I would be able to get a train after the game. I just checked train times, and it seems the last train is at 9.55pm, which is too early. Does anyone know if there are plans to put more trains on line? Any other suggestions for transport back to Bristol at about 11pm? Thanks,

I'm going to be in Cardiff next week. I am a female in my late 20s and I will be traveling alone, and as such I would like to know which parts of the city I should avoid. Thanks!

Hi i am after after cheap accomodation (for myself and two others) for the 14th- 17th september (Rugby World Cup). if any one has any advice or know of any options it would be much appreciated. Is Cardiff Uni an option to stay? We are not after anything to flash, but some where which is relatively close to the stadium, and that gives us a place to sleep. It seems accomodation is at a premium for this period, so any help people could give would be invaluable. Send me an email if u could. cheers.

Hi there

Training for a 5K run, using Caedelyn Park as I live in Rhiwbina, just wondered if you knew what the distance of the perimeter path was all the way around?

Thanks

Hello,
I would like to ask what is the best and cheapest way to travel from London to Cardiff? We need to be there at 16pm 12 of March, and in the same day we are planing to be back to London. So it will be great if somebody will give advise how to go (because this is the first our visit to UK) and what is possible to see in a few hours there.
Thank you!

I need to know where i can get hold of some colourant for my paella. Its the orange stuff. I need to know where i can buy it without going to london or Spain! is there any shops in the arcades that sell that kind of thing. herbs and spices and the like.
Thank you,

Cardiff has an important visitor from Serbia, Niksa aka VT member 'diocletianvs' (and partner). He will be here for the weekend of the 16/17 February. Will any of you Cardiff VT members be around for that weekend? It would be good to get a small welcoming party together in a traditional Cardiff hostelry of some description! That would either be the Friday or the Saturday evening, for drinks and maybe a meal too...

is it true that cardiff indoor market was previously a prison.

Hey! I'm planning to go abroad from April or so to go on a little 'European Tour' for about half a year to try working and living in cities where I know someone. I have a friend in Cardiff who will try to help me with a job for a couple of months over there, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask in here if anyone had any suggestions? Doesn't matter much what it is really. As long as it can pay for my stay there I would be happy. Any help appreciated :)

Cheers!

Hey all, I am going to be in Birmingham with my girlfriend on December 14 and 15 (Thursday & Friday) and we thought about heading over to Wales for the weekend. This will be our first trip to Wales (she is Swedish, I'm from NZ). We fly out of London on the Sunday night, Dec 17. Are we best to head to Cardiff for Friday and Saturday night, or perhaps a small town nearer Birmingham? We just want to get a feel for the country (albeit extremely brief) and have no particular agenda of things we want to do. Any suggestions on where to go/what to do would be awesome! Cheers!!

Refering to the original posting for Christmas meeting.

Henry Africa
95 St Mary's Street
Cardiff

At: 7:30pm

Date: Saturday December 9th, 2006

All those agree, raise your hands:)

Any suggestions about a cheap car hire at Cardiff airport ?

I had seen many options online but none of them say how much is Full cover (only priced for partial cover).

I had used Hertz before and they seem to give me the best price, but if you know any better one, please let us know! :-)

Should we make plans for our Christmas VT celebrations? Carmela and Beach Dog will be in Cardiff sometime in December. What dates are good for you guys?

Hi, does anyone know if there are any cafes or tea houses in Cardiff, where you can smoke flavoured tobacco out of water pipes?

I opened my big mouth and have now found myself organizing a trip for me and 5 other rugby players to watch the world cup in 2007. Does anyone know of cheap places to stay close to millenium staduim in september 2007. Stumble distance would be prefered. Is it too far ahead to book, anyone have a floor? Thanks

Is it possible to take public bus transportation from Cardiff (Holiday Inn Express near Cardiff Castle) to St. Fagan's Museum of Welsh Life? If so, what is the roundtrip fare and what is the bus schedule. We are interested in information on Dec. 7th, 2006 for moving 36 people. Thank you.

hi, my friend lives in manchester and is travelling down by train at the end of August to Cardiff and as we are trying to sort out travel details we wanted to know how long it would take to travel from manchester to cardiff?

hi,

we are a family of three soon coming to Cardiff for a few days. I've already booked the hotel (Sandringham), but would appreciate help with restaurants in the area. We are looking for nice, simple places where a 1.5 years old toddler would also get something to eat! - preferably on a high chair. Lunch places should be close to shopping malls ;) but dinner restaurants can be a bit further, however all within a walking distance from Millenium Stadium. Italian food is always great, but we are open for anything! Not too pricey, though, and not high-end places that require a tie! The toddler will eat anything that is not very spicy hot and can be eaten with only front teeth... And another thing, how much should we tip? I am completely at sea with tipping as tips are not expected here in Finland... I always end up giving too much or too little abroad...

Any hints would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I WILL BE ATTENDING MADONNA CONCERT, CAN TAKE FOOD AND DRINK IN WITH ME ON THE 30TH JULY. HOW LONG IS THE PERFORMANCE.
