Principality Stadium
Principality Stadium is Wales's national stadium, home to the Welsh rugby team, seating around 74,000 and notable for its retractable roof, one of the largest in the world, and its central location right in the city rather than on an out-of-town campus like most major stadiums. On match days, it dominates Cardiff completely, with the whole city centre taking on a rugby-day atmosphere.
On non-event days, guided tours take visitors through the changing rooms, players' tunnel, and pitch-side areas, giving a sense of the scale even without a match happening. It also hosts football internationals, concerts, and other major events beyond rugby, closing the roof as needed regardless of weather.
A stadium tour runs about an hour; simply seeing the exterior from the city centre takes just a few minutes.
