Best time of the year to visit Cardiff

Citybase recommends guests travel around the summer months (June – September) to Cardiff. During this period, although the English weather can be unpredictable, it is less likely to rain as you explore the outside grounds of Cardiff Castle and the beautiful scenery of Bute Park. Take a boats ride around the bay in the summer months and enjoy the breeze as you discover the buildings overlooking the water’s edge.
