Cardiff's walking tours mostly stay in the compact centre around Cardiff Castle, the Victorian and Edwardian arcades and the civic buildings of Cathays Park, while others go down to Cardiff Bay. The page includes a shared city highlights walk, Doctor Who walks in the city and the Bay, a walking and tasting tour, a silent disco walk with headphones, and private walks with local guides. A self-guided ghost audio tour of Llandaff is also listed.

Most walks last one to two and a half hours. At the time of checking, shared walks were listed from about £17 to £26 and the tasting tour from about £47.50. Private walks were listed from about £41 to £275.

Before you book

Rain is common in Cardiff in every season, so a light waterproof is worth carrying. Most central sights are within about 15 minutes' walk of each other, but the Bay is around half an hour on foot from the castle, so check where a tour finishes. In November and December the Christmas market and rugby internationals bring big crowds, and the Bute Park light trail runs in the evenings from 19 November.

Cardiff walking tours: questions

How long is a Cardiff walking tour?

Most shared walks take about two hours. Private half-day walks run for up to four hours.

Is Cardiff easy to explore on foot?

Yes. The centre is flat and largely pedestrianised, and Visit Cardiff says most main sights are within about 15 minutes' walk of each other.

Does a Cardiff walking tour go inside Cardiff Castle?

Most walks pass the castle and tell its story from outside. Castle entry is usually a separate ticket.
