Better than Barcelona

Cardiff has been named as one of the top 10 cities in Europe alongside Paris and London in an influential financial publication. Wales' capital was ranked seventh in the top 50 cities in Europe in the fDI's 2008 Cities of the Future shortlist, which is published by the Financial Times, beating Barcelona, Geneva and Madrid. Cardiff was also ranked seventh in terms of attracting foreign inward investment among the top 25 cities in Europe and second in Europe's small cities just behind Edinburgh and ahead of Tallinn and Oxford. The city was judged on a number of categories including its ability to attract business, compete on the global stage and its quality of life.

Top of the world – that’s Cardiff!

Cardiff has been chosen as one of 13 favourites worldwide in the Frommer’s Guide list of top destinations for 2008. Each year, members of Frommer's editorial staff select those special places around the world that they judge worthy of a traveller's attention. For next year, Cardiff features alongside Pittsburg, Denver, New Orleans, St Lucia, Quito, and Seoul, among others. The city is described as "a city transformed" that has "reinvented itself and is now a thriving cosmopolitan centre with an ancient Welsh heart". The Welsh Assembly building is described as "sleek and ecologically friendly" while the Cardiff Bay Wetlands Reserve and the Wales Millennium Centre (WMC) were also praised. Frommer’s says the WMC "holds court in the revitalized waterfront, breathing life into the culture and cafe scene. (It also serves as the hidden entrance to a secret government agency on BBC's sci-fi hit, Torchwood.)"
