Cardiff, Europe’s youngest capital is situated in South Wales, and is easy to reach from anywhere in the UK or overseas. Just two hours away from the centre of London by rail or road and only an hour and a half’s drive away from Heathrow, Cardiff is accessible whether you plan to get here by car, plane, bus, ferry or train. In this section you'll find plenty of information to help you get your bearings and get around including maps, park & ride, and links to public transport.

Once you have arrived in the city, the public transport services are both regular and reliable. Find out more about Cardiff's public transport, as well as how to get around under your own steam.
