You can pick up a location map and spot the Cardiff sights that double as locations for Doctor Who and Torchwood. Combine a visit to the Doctor Who Up-close exhibition in Cardiff Bay with a tour of the locations.

The new series of Doctor Who features Catherine Tate as Donna Noble, the runaway bride from Series Three and now The Doctor’s companion as they travel through time and space.

The series, and its two spin-off shows, Torchwood and the Adventures of Sarah Jane, are filmed on location in Cardiff, and make use of locations such as the Millennium Stadium, Queen's Arcade Shopping Centre and Wales Millennium Centre.

Cardiff is also home to the Doctor Who Up Close exhibition in the Red Dragon Centre. Visitors can see props, costumes and monsters from the show, including Cybermen and Daleks. A Doctor Who locations map is also available from the exhibition and the Cardiff Tourist Information Centre. And Park Plaza Hotel, in Cardiff city centre, is offering a Doctor Who break for fans – complete with a Dalek!

Torchwood

"When you see Cardiff on film, it looks like LA - it looks amazing. I think a lot of people are going to want to come here, not just because of Torchwood but because it's such a great place - it's buzzing every single day and it's beautiful." - John Barrowman (Captain Jack)
