Cardiff Market
Marchnad Caerdydd
An 1891 Victorian market under an iron-and-glass roof, where you can eat freshly baked Welsh cakes, Caerphilly cheese and laverbread sandwiches.
This two-storey Victorian indoor market stands between St Mary Street and Trinity Street, with produce stalls, butchers, fishmongers and snack counters beneath its cast-iron arched roof. Must-tries include freshly griddled Welsh cakes, a Welsh breakfast of laverbread (seaweed purée) with bacon, and Caerphilly cheese. Upstairs, you'll find record and secondhand book stalls. It's open roughly Monday to Saturday, 8:00–17:30, and closed on Sundays. It sits next to the Victorian Arcades, so you can explore both together.
