Getting Around

Cardiff has a reliable and extensive bus service. Passengers can pay in cash if they have the exact amount (drivers do not give change), or they can use a contactless payment option, which includes Apple Pay and Google Pay. The train services are also dependable, and taxis are easily hailed or ordered by phone. Uber and Lyft are also available.

Hiring a car in Cardiff is easy, with most companies requiring a license in English with a photograph, or an International Driving Permit. Travellers who meet a minimum age requirement may apply. The city is relatively easy to negotiate by car, but parking is often a problem, as many spaces downtown are for permit-holders only. However, Cardiff is compact and easily explored on foot. It's also flat, making it well-suited to cycling. The Taff Trail for walking and cycling runs right through the city.
