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.

Casual diners will enjoy the brasserie-style restaurant on these city-centre premises, while those who prefer a more formal setting can try the 45-cover restaurant upstairs which offers an extensive à la carte menu with dishes such as Welsh beef and lamb, crab fish cakes and mussels. And, as if that wasn't enough, the separate bar has a great snack menu. The happy hour produces some very good discounts on cocktails: between 10p and 11p you will get two for the price of one.
