Welcome, or ‘Creoso’, to the capital and Wales’ largest city, Cardiff. The warm and vibrant city also ranks as the 10th largest in the United Kingdom. Apart from being the commercial centre of Wales, it is also the base for most of the nation’s cultural and sporting organizations, the seat of the Welsh National Assembly and the base for the national media of Wales. Cardiff has grown up and now has a new waterfront area at Cardiff Bay and a shiny new arts complex, the Wales Millennium Center. Further ongoing development includes redevelopment of the Cardiff Bay and city centre areas with the building of the Cardiff International Sports Village, a new business district in the city center, as well as a BBC drama village. Apart from its political and commercial importance, Cardiff is also a tourist friendly city with a warm Welsh welcome.
