Cardiff holiday Packages

Set on the south coast of Wales, Cardiff is 150 miles from London and a great base for exploring Wales, the West Country, and the Midlands. Significant investment in the city has seen areas like the old docks transformed by luxurious hotels and facilities. However, you’ll still find quaint Edwardian tea rooms and charming traditional thatched cottages tucked away in side streets.

The wide choice of places to stay, from 5-star luxury spa hotels to family-friendly city centre apartments, means it is simple to create your perfect Cardiff holiday package  with Qatar Airways Holidays.

No visit to any city is complete without sampling local food specialities, and Cardiff is no exception. The fertile land of Wales means top quality local produce is served at the many must-visit independent restaurants, gastropubs, and cafés in the city. Book a culinary package to Cardiff to make sure you don’t miss out on the pancake-like Welsh cakes, and local cheese-laden Welsh rarebit.
