Cardiff's compact and pedestrianised city centre is one of the most attractive
and successful shopping centres in Britain. The city has an unrivalled number of
Victorian arcades containing designer boutiques and unique shops.
When the shops
close the pubs and nightclubs take over the City Centre. The city’s social atmosphere
and high student numbers means there are always people visiting bars and clubs throughout
the week - but the weekends are busiest! Cardiff attracts a lot of weekend visitors, especially
from groups celebrating weddings to come (affectionately known as hen & stag nights).
