Love these arcades especially Castle Quarter arcade with it's mix of cafes, bars and little independent shops. I am grateful that they have not been destroyed and yet they are here today allowing small businesses to have a place in the city.

A wonderful arcade full of unique finds! Castle Quarter Arcade is one of my favourite places in Cardiff for discovering something special. The gift shops here are amazing — full of quirky, handmade, and locally inspired items that make perfect presents. I especially love the board game shops; they have a fantastic selection and really friendly staff who are always happy to give recommendations. The arcade itself is beautiful, with a relaxed atmosphere and plenty of charm. It’s the perfect place to explore if you enjoy browsing independent stores and finding something a bit different.

The Arcades all over Cardiff are really beautiful to walk around. A lot of them have alfresco dining with candles (very rare to see in the UK!) and wide variety of places to sit in for coffee or food. Some very nice shops as well.
