The Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, which seats 80 000 hosts Wales vs New Zealand this weekend. It’s a magnificent rugby stadium in a quaint, but modern little city which I had the fortune of visiting during the London Olympics earlier this year. I attended the Bronze medal play off between Korea and Japan, which was won by Korea 2 – 0, and I would certainly be happy to visit Cardiff again, not something that I could say for example about Blackpool, where I saw the British Open earlier this year.
Cardiff, with those of you who have seen London, is not that different, except much smaller. It has a vibrant little city centre and because of its size everything is pretty close together. All the hotels are within easy walking distance of the stadium itself, the stadium is right next to all the major transport routes and bus facilities, not to mention trains to London and various other areas, and as a result it is pretty easy to get in and out of the stadium fairly quickly. The small but compact city has a lovely castle at the one end with a magnificent huge park and it is the kind of city where, if you are in the area and you hear a sports event is taking place, you would want to go because it really is optimised beautifully for such events.

I would love to go to London sometime to see all the nice places and Cardiff being a small city would be a nice break from the big cities and their busy life style

London is one of the places I would absolutely love to visit sometime in my life. After Dublin =) and I know my mom would probably enjoy going to the Millenium stadium. Hope to take her one day

London is stunning, I absolutely LOVED it! So I would probably like Cardiff too but at this age I am enjoying living in a larger city so it would just be for a visit. Maybe one day when I am older or have a family etc I would consider a smaller city

Anfield in Liverpool is where my heart lies, however, while on my way to and from Copenhagen, Denmark, via London, i'll schedule a trip to Cardiff.

London in the whole seems like a very nice place to go on holiday too. If I do will be sure to visit the Cardiff as Cornelie has pointed out whether or not theres a match there just to have a look.

It is a dream of mine to one day be able to visit different countries. Perhaps one day I will be afforded the opportunity to see London for the first time and to experience the great places such as the one you mention here for myself.

I would love to go on a tour to London to visit all the nice places and then also visit Cardiff the small city on the tour and pop in to see the Stadium as well, even if there is no sports that day.
