The only time we hear about Wales is by association with the Royal Family. But there are many things to look forward to in Wales other than the royal family. For those who are into culture and architecture, your appetite for the classics and refined will be satiated by the Roman amphitheatre of Caerleon and the 400 castles in Wales. Tales of Camelot and mysterious abbeys will delight scholars and children alike.
If nightlife is more to your liking, the pubs of Wales will not disappoint. Pubs serve great meals, good beer and in some instances amazing live performances like the Uplands Tavern and Sloop Inn. Cardiff is the shopping capital of Wales. Shoppers spend in style and enjoy a luxurious backdrop of Edwardian style arcades and lush greens. Shoppers enjoy a bit of culture on the side with the Royal and Morgan arcades, both built in the 1800s. Lamb and sheep are the center of Welsh cuisine although they serve delightful seafood dishes. Wales is also known as a producer of fine cheeses and wine. Wales is for the sophisticated and scholarly traveler. In Wales, you will never run out of ways to enjoy the finer things in life.
