Overview

A traditional Victorian arcade with a balcony housing a violin maker's workshop, Castle Arcade is so called because it opens out directly opposite Cardiff Castle. Even if you don't fancy venturing up the stairs to the balcony, it's worth exploring the wealth of unusual clothing and souvenir shops on the ground floor, or sampling some traditional Welsh food in one of the cafes. Contact the tourist information office on the number above for general information about shopping in Cardiff.
