Principality Stadium
Stadiwm Principality
A stadium with a retractable roof that holds 74,000 people, home to the Welsh national rugby team, located on the riverbank in the city centre.
Built for the 1999 Rugby World Cup, this was the first stadium in Britain with a retractable roof. It is the home of the Welsh national rugby team and also hosts football matches and major concerts. On non-match days, you can take a tour of about one hour (around £22) that visits the changing rooms, the players' tunnel and the press room. On match days, the city centre has traffic restrictions, bars are packed and the atmosphere is electric. It is about a five-minute walk from Cardiff Central Station.
