Cardiff is the Welsh capital and one of the UK's best cities for big events. The Principality Stadium sits right in the city centre, so international rugby, football and stadium concerts bring tens of thousands of people into a small area. The Bay, the castle and the universities add steady visitor and student traffic, and the Brecon Beacons and Gower are close enough for day trips.
On stadium days, much of the city centre closes to traffic, so drop-off and pickup points are planned well in advance.
