🛍️ Cardiff’s Arcades are a treasure trove of Victorian and Edwardian architecture, earning the city its nickname: the “City of Arcades.” With more historic arcades than any other UK city, they offer a unique shopping and cultural experience right in the heart of Cardiff. 🧵 Spread across the city centre, these seven elegant arcades—including Royal Arcade (1858), Morgan Arcade, Castle Arcade, and High Street Arcade—are home to over 100 independent boutiques, cafés, delis, vintage shops, and art galleries. ☕ Whether you're sipping artisan coffee, browsing rare books, or picking up Welsh-made crafts, the arcades blend heritage charm with modern flair. Their glass roofs, intricate ironwork, and quirky shopfronts make them a delight to explore—especially on a rainy day. 📸 A must for lovers of architecture, local flavour, and hidden gems, Cardiff’s arcades are more than just shopping—they’re a stroll through the city’s soul.
