Trip Summary
3 nights in Cardiff

Cardiff is the capital of Wales, and the epicenter of political, economical, social, and cultural life in Wales. In the early 19th century, the small town of Cardiff was one of the principal ports in the British Empire, and the area around the port is now a noteworthy tourist area which is home to such buildings as the Welsh National Assembly, the Pierhead Building, and the Millennium Centre. Other noteworthy sights include the city's two grand cathedrals, Cardiff Cathedral (Roman Catholic) and Llandaff Cathedral (Anglican), the latter dating from the 12th century. Cardiff Castle was built on the site of a 3rd-century Roman fort; the castle we see today also dates from the 12th century.

Visit Cardiff Castle, Cardiff Bay, St Fagans National Museum of History, National Museum Cardiff, Caerphilly Castle, Wales Millennium Centre, Mermaid Quay, Llandaff Cathedral, Cardiff Cathedral, Pierhead Building, and so much more!



2 nights in Brecon

Brecon is a bustling market town at the edge of the glorious Brecon Beacons National Park. It's known for the famous Brecon Jazz Festival, independent shops and cafés, history, military connections and of course, the magnificent cathedral. Brecon is the perfect base for exploring the national park, watersports and fishing in the local rivers, canal and lakes, plus cycling and mountain biking.

Visit Brecon Cathedral, The Regimental Museum of Royal Welsh, Brecon Canal Basin, Llangorse Lake, Y Gaer Museum, Art Gallery and Library and much more.



2 nights in Betws-y-Coed (Snowdonia)

Betws-y-Coed is a village in the Conwy valley in the Gwydir Forest and the gateway to the snowy peaks and dazzling lakes of Snowdonia National Park. With spectacular terrain for hiking, biking, and climbing, it's perfect for an action-packed adventure at any time of year. It has a large village green which is the playing field for the local football team.

Visit Saint Michaels Old Church, Pont-y-Pair Bridge, Saint Mary's Church, Fairy Glen River, Llyn Parc Lake and much more.



2 nights in Pembroke Coast

Jutting out into the Irish Sea, the southwest tip of Wales is an area just begging to be explored, whether on foot, by bike, or by car. Pembroke Coast serves as an excellent base from which to explore the scenic coastlines around the rugged Pembrokeshire Peninsula. Fortunately, much of this spectacular coastline is protected as Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. Established in 1952 and covering an area of 243 square miles, this must-see landscape is notable as Britain's only coastal national park.

Visit Pembrokeshire Coast Path, Whitesands Bay, Oakwood Theme Park, St Davids Cathedral, Preseli Hills, Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo and much more.

Package Map Picture
Wales

With such beautiful valleys, mountain peaks, and shoreline, Wales is considered one of the most picturesque parts of the United Kingdom. The Welsh culture is one that is on display everywhere you look, from the capital, Cardiff, where hundreds of years of history meet modern-day innovation, to the valleys of Glamorgan, to the beautiful north where mountains such as Mount Snowdon are just a short drive away from gorgeous seaside resorts such as Llandudno. Visit the beautiful castles, enjoy hiking and nature-watching, or enjoy such recreational activities as horseback riding and golf. Wales has quite a few options for those looking for a charming and breathtaking getaway.
