Travel Guide: Wales - Urban Culture
Socializing in Bars
You can responsibly enjoy your whisky, as well as other types of alcoholic beverages, at the many inns and pubs in Wales. Real ales and ciders can be found at The Bell in Caerleon and The Priory Hotel has a big bar section that is ideal for socialising. The coastal village of Porthdinllaen hosts the Ty Coch Inn where you can drink beer right near the beach.
Shopping
Top 10 Best Global Shopping Streets
Wales certainly has its share of shops and centres that will satisfy any shopaholic. With just about something for everyone, Cardiff is not only Wales’ capital city but also a shopping capital. Be sure to check out St. David’s Dewi Sant, a fashion lover’s dream with its designer and high street brand names. Linked to it is Queen’s Arcade right in the heart of the city centre.
Leisure and Nightlife
More shopping can be done in the Swansea city centre. This is where the leisure and nightlife district resides, as well as the National Waterfront Museum. Visitors may also be surprised to know that chic and unique items can also be found in the small town of Llandeilo in Carmarthenshire.
Welsh Culture
From poetry to lighthouses to whisky and shopping, Wales has much to offer when it comes to culture.
