TURIST IMFORMATION WALES: CARDIFF In Cardiff you can see lots of things, but the best for me are: Millennium Stadium and Victoria Park. Millennium Stadium: It is a place where you can see football matches, but really it is a rugby stadium. It is next to the Taff River, and to the Cardiff blues. It is opened all the day.
Victoria Park: Its name suggests the traditional Victoria era park, after Queen Victoria and it has got a lot of the original charm. The municipal recreation by Cardiff city charter between 1897 and 1898 to celebrate Queen Victoria’s sixty years throne. There is a market six days a week from the mediaeval time.

Many people speak well of it and many people see it From dusk because the tip is illuminated to provide a light in the night sky of Dublin.

From its base up to about 10 meters, the stainless steel is partially polished in an abstract design. From dusk the tip is illuminated to provide a light in the night sky of Dublin. The Spire has its roots in the earth and its light in the sky.
