Between the medieval walls of Cardiff Castle and the ultramodern curves of Wales Millennium Centre lies a city that refuses to be typecast. Wander through Cardiff Market where vendors hawk everything from Welsh cakes to vintage vinyl. The National Museum houses Impressionist masterpieces that would make Paris jealous, displayed with Welsh understatement.
