Best night spots

Description:

Whatever your vice it will be met in Cardiff. Spin that wheel at the Grosvenor Casino, or laugh your socks of at Glee Club, both situated in Cardiff Bay. In the city centre see a world-class gig at the striking Millennium Stadium. If you prefer your ears when they're not ringing, settle for some delicious cocktails in Metropolis, situated near the Cardiff Indoor Arena. If you live to spend your nights moshing into the wee small hours, head to Clwb Ifor Bach. Every rock and indie act worth their salt has played there at some point in their career.

    Description:

    Since its opening in June 1999 the Millennium Stadium has become an icon not only of Cardiff, but of Wales. It can be seen from as far away as the Somerset coastline, but while in Cardiff you would miss out if you didn't take the opportunity to get a close-up view of the fabulous building. Book a tour of the Millennium Stadium and you'll be able to imagine teams preparing for a match in the changing rooms, pretend you're walking down the tunnel to the pitch, and see where Her Majesty the Queen enjoyed the final of the Rugby World Cup. In addition you will learn about the construction of the stadium, and find out about the mechanics of the removable pitch and retractable roof. This is one tour sports fans shouldn't miss.
