About This Experience
Cardiff's arcades are an icon of the modern city today and something that makes the Welsh capital a unique city in the UK, but they are also a symbol of the city's industrial status, success and power in the nineteenth century. Cardiff has the most arcades and highest concentration of Victorian and Edwardian era arcades of any city in the whole of the UK, as well as one of the country's finest and bustling city markets. They are full of historic, quirky, boutique and independent shops, cafes and stores. On this two hour adventure through Cardiff's shopping district, discover the rise of the Cardiff in the nineteenth century, the industrial success and influence of the growing city, the origin, evolution and culture of the arcades and where they stand in city life in the twenty-first century.
