  • @sheepboy37 how is it now ?

  • Culture is different than shopping. Nothing related whatsoever. Culture can be really site-specific, while for shopping, you can visit the major multinationals in every major city (same crap everywhere).

    This project fails to reach cult and anti-consumerist people.

    Although very well produced and edited, this project is a fail by concept, sorry.

  • Loved Cardiff and the  people there!!!! Thank you Wales for the warm welcome!

  • tbh i live in cardiff and its not the best place to live.

  • Moving to Cardiff in November... this video is not filling me with confidence if all there is to do in Cardiff is shop and get drunk :(

  • 1:23 LOL Come on now. Cardiff is an alright city as far as the UK goes but better than one of the best cities in the world? LOL. 

  • @TheHornyHomunculus

    The UK has some marvellous cities. Bath,London,York,Sheffield,New­castle,Cambridge,Oxford,Chiche­ster,Brighton,Durham,,Liverpoo­l...

  • Cardiff’s a wonderful place but you wouldn’t know it from this vid (sorry). Most of this could have been shot in Manchester, Southampton, Nottingham and a dozen other places in the UK ….. usual night life, chain stores, shopping centres. Cardiff is much more than just yet another UK clone city.

    Should have gone for what makes the place special.

  • how cardiff has changed

  • try lovewales . com if you are looking for lovely accommodation of all types in our beautiful country!

  • dont you mean capital city?

  • this isn't an accurate representation of Cardiff at all. For anyone who is watching this thinking this is the real Cardiff, you should know that Cardiff is actually a lot better than this

  • I wonder what it's like living in Cardiff... I'm from California :)

  • @omgitsmadonna its a shithole, come to swansea :)

  • @kyleyayz thats the way boyo ;)

  • what kinda lame ass video is this, it should be called cardiff city of shops..

  • to think how much cardiff has changed

  • But have they any shops? I ducking hate shops. Half the shops are going bust anyway.

  • i dont really care about anything you just said

  • shopping isnt really culture, museums, castles, theatre is more culture and cardiff has all those things

  • @cardiffpua

    You need to get out of the fishbowl of South Wales to start experiencing culture i'm afraid.

  • Please Please submit this to Cardiff's teenagers magazine TheSprout :p I'll recomend it since im in the editorial group :)

  • Please Please submit this to Cardiff's teenagers magazine TheSprout :p I'll recomend it since im in the editorial group :)

  • i dunno how having a load of shops makes a city have 'culture'

  • Tbh it just looks like ur average british city

  • I'm Cardiff born and Cardiff bred and when I die i'll be Cardiff dead.

  • Cardiff..

    hehe I'm interested because of Torchwood.

  • I'm not interested in shopping or partying. This makes me want to stay away from cardiff.

  • whats the title of the ending song?

  • I wouldn't have titled this "Cardiff: City of Culture"

    I would have titled this "Cardiff: City of Shops"

  • 1:24 young pretty lady said its better than London for shoppin over there it seems like she never been to London ,,!!

  • just a set of sheep shagging cunts. Looks like premiership football for leeds united next season. wooo hoooo!!

  • Um Cardiff isn't the youngest city in Europe!

  • Seems like a typical town centre..... Thank god I live near London eh?

  • Comment removed

  • Cardiff is a shit hole, simple as :P

  • Since when was Cardiff the youngest city in Europe? I thought Cardiff was granted city status in 1905?

  • why isn't swansea the capital because its older

  • Comment removed

  • Wow... So Cardiff has some shops. That's so unique, seriously.

  • good Cardiff chicks :D {}{}{}

  • lol 'creation' shows how old this is!

  • @carmellagiles1991 could be worse it could be filmed when it was zeus

  • Cardiff is truly a great place.

  • City of culture or city of shops?

  • We were there last afternoon as tourists,and the first thing that comes into my mind are the completely naked bikers that we encountered there!!It was so shagging funny!!Other than that the city was not very interesting....

  • If your watching this and your not from or dont go to Cardiff, a LOT has changed since this video, there's a brand new HUGE shopping centre, new football/rugby stadium, it's pretty awesome now.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • hah I love the way you highlight the big venues then sowly run out of things to highlight and so you highlight HSBC :P funny hehe

  • "Match days" as if everyone likes RUGBY ffs what about CARDIFF CITY rugby fans for 5 games then its over for another year and the sweaty egg tops can go back in the draw till next season

  • i've lived here for long and there is not much in cardiff...get bored easily........

  • I like how this video has been named the city of culture however has not mentioned any cultural aspects of the city.

    I'm not putting down Cardiff at all, It's an amazing city, I just can't believe that for a degree level project called Cardiff: City of Culture there is not one mention of the millennium centre, WNO, BBC NOW, New Theatre, Sherman Cymru, St Davids Hall, Chapter Arts, Norwegian Church.... the list goes on

    Cardiff is a Vibrant Cultural City - This video certainly does it no justice!

  • Yeah! Cardiff has chain stores! Pubs and clubs! Even a stadium! Who knew?

  • i love cardiff. It's my fav city.

    never been but would like to

  • fucking metros, fuck that.

  • @cutterschoicenotmine I know! Its the most dingy club in Cardiff, down a back alley, stinks of sick and sweat, and your feet stick to the floor! This video is seriously shit.

  • cardiff is about so much more than this if anyone visted the subuarbs or the towns they find out and i live grangetown is the area with the flash cars i would not be surpised if they doing illgeal things down there i live in birchgrove which is about 3 quarters of a miles away from the hosptial which has had the most medical breakthourghs of any uk city lisvane the women sleep with lots men like 1 every 3 months whitchurch is just full of idots who say want a fight and run grid owned lots on

  • Of culture?!?! The video is all about shopiing centres and clubs... ;/

  • What's topshop got to do with culture?

  • what's the name of the song starting at 0:28

  • loved my time out there

    fab place flares rulez

  • been clubbing in every known night life hotspots in the u.k, but cardiff is somethigs else.....my opinion all from exp

  • why pay so much attention to the shops? you have shops in every major town. really I think you should have concentrated on the things of cultural significance and heritage.

  • @intavent theres planty of that lol

  • @intavent i think the point of this video is to do with TODAYS culture, talking about castles,rugby and celtic history is old news haha fool

  • @intavent Correct. Queen Street could be anywhere in the world. I think our best feature is Roath Park, Cathay's Park, Hailey Park, Victoria Park, Taff trail, Coopers' Field (not at night!) Heath Park. It's a very rural city. Cardiff bay SOOOO overrated!

  • Cardiff sucks for the gamer scene, it fucking blows, I'm not sure what that one guy was on about, we have ONE gaming arcade and thats in cardiff bay and the game selection blows.

  • TIGER TIGERRRRRRRRRRR

  • "Better than London"; "Best place to shop in the UK"; "Best night out in the UK"; "Best place in Britain"?! I dispute them all! And they mention the millennium stadium every 5 fucking seconds. Never been to a country where the citizens are so proud of what most countries would regard as mediocre. But then again, that's just my opinion...

  • tosser

  • i'm thinking about studying abroad next school year in the UK and right now Cardiff is on the top of my list. Anyone have any thoughts on the city and the university for an american who won't know anyone going into the experience?

  • I'm studying there now at UWIC, it's a small city but I've been really impressed with Cardiff, I'd recommend it, definitely. The people here are really nice and the centre's been done quite well, so it's pretty good for shopping and going out (just avoid it when the Rugby's on lol)

  • If you think it's a small city, you haven't seen much there.

  • I'm not being ignorant, as capital cities go, it's not huge. Very nice, just not as big as you might expect if you weren't from the UK

  • I didn't say you were being ignorant, and I didn't mean it in a nasty way. I'm just saying you've probably only seen the city centre and the Bay. It's as roughly big as most other major UK cities, such as Edinburgh, Manchester, Liverpool and Belfast

  • Comment removed

  • @welshleprechaun Are you serious? I live in Cardiff and its nowhere near the size of those places, except maybe Belfast. I see that as a good thing, however, I think its the perfect size. But look at a map, even Bristol is bigger.

  • @Jcbgrvs Did you come here to study in the end?

  • Welcome to Cardiff.

    Europe's tattiest city full of ignorant bastards who would love to crush you like a bug.

    Cardiff has turned to shit because of the assembly who know nothing but to destroy cardiff's old architecture and replace it with buildings with the same quality as a mud hut.

  • Comment removed

  • im not from Swansea, pillock

  • you didnt mind me bein a cocksucker when i pounded you, you lil slut bow down to your master

  • i pounded the guy at 1:45 he was very shit and inexperienced his name is shaun smith, facebook him, i was disappointed that he only had a 1 inch cock ):

  • Wales is where my ancestors are from. Wales and Scotland. I'm so looking forward to visiting both one day.

  • Thats culture is it shopping&drinking?could only been made by a student what about our civic centre,museum,theatres,cardiff bay,cardiff city,etc,etc,... He didn't even mention the CLARKES PIE!!!!!must be a veggie?

  • Not at all bad, but did I miss St Mary's street, Cardiff Market, The Wenault, City Road, Crwys Rd, Roath Paaaa'k, Caroline St, the breweries, the Brains shop ... the lis is endless. Very good, but Queen St is one part of it ... like 0.1 percent. Keep up the good work.

    Pentwyn Jim.

  • Good work at less now I know some places to go on Cardiff when I'll be there this summer studying Nice work, Thanks, xoxoxo,

    Maria

  • WHY DON'T YOU FUCKING MENTION CCFC?!?! you manage to mention the fucking rugby, which is complete bullshit compared to the football here! Dumbass students.

  • Nice one!

  • love it..... <3

  • just wondering, does cardiff have an abercrombie and fitch?

  • who do Americans always have to have their own shops everywhere they go??? We have much better clothing shops than A + Fitch! Get a life!

  • I do have a life, thank you. And I was just asking a simple question. You don't have to be rude about it.

  • Abercrombie and Fitch is shit. It's popular for the dumb scene kids. It stops after you grow up, well mostly.

  • I'll be there in less that a week!!

  • such a chavvy city, full of narrow-minded ppl. Claustrophobic, always raining and way too proud of itself. The most depressing place i have ever lived

  • cardiff has shops wow really full of culture then

  • And it has a HMV and Virgin Megastore you know, a horrid little city up it's own backside.

  • Comment removed

  • Fair enough. I was just asking because I've got this super cool coat that I want to bring but unfortunately it's quite warm and you really can't use it unless it's -5 celcius or less :)

    I think I'm supposed to get there at the beginning of september but I'm not sure. I'll try to get tickets for Eddie Izzard when he comes to Cardiff in november :D

  • Thanks, I already agreed to go two weeks ago but it's good to hear ;) I'm coming from Helsinki Finland so it's good to hear there's nature too, which there's a lot of over here.

    How cold is it during the winter?

  • Rubbish video. What's the point in focusing on all the chain shops and bars? Cardiff has so much more to it than this video what have you think.

  • This video was called the city of culture, but focused on shops and bars, strange.

  • I might go to Cardiff as an exchange student for 2009-2010. I was thinking of going to England rather but apparently some family in Cardiff asked if I could go there instead.. don't know what to make of it right now :p

  • Depends on who you speak to bud! I live just outside of Cardiff and i'd reccomend coming for sure.

  • Comment removed

  • Pretty shit video. I mean, shops and pubs don't make a place good.

  • WOOOOO my city :) Love cardiff :)

  • bloody good work!

  • Great video. I love Cardiff and can't wait to go back in June for a Welsh Language intensive at Cardiff University.

  • I struggle to see the appeal of Cardiff, over priced shitty hotels, nightlife that you can get anywhere in a major UK city, the lack of decent to very good restaurants.

  • That's right. Show Cardiff off by mentioning all the superstores that exist in every bloody town in the UK. Well done.

  • HANNAH WILLIAMS

  • poor jealous guys, may they get over it one day :-/

    caerdydd is lovely, i'll move there soon and i can't wait! :-)

  • bensandler. Answer in a nutshell, yes, just like you guys like shagging kangaroos. Oh, and for the record, if it wasn't for us Brits, you'd still be speaking aboriginie!!!

  • cymryucymraig. You are either a jealous gog or jack. Go fuck off back to the stone you crawled from.

  • Cardiff seems great, my best friend lives there :)

  • theres 1 or to jokers on here

    cardiff is an amazing placeto live

    n no mate theres no scouse in me

  • is it true all welsh men f**k sheep ??? Like the kiwis ? Talk of the town - from an aussie

  • Is it true your a fool ? nice life seriously mate why would you belive that -.-

  • Are you from Swansea by any chance? Sounds like it.

    Get a life you fool.

  • Cardiff lol shit hole the only reason why it grew is thanks to Merthyr Tydfil bringing down the iron to cardiff docks, take away merthyrs iron works history best in the world by the way and cardiff wouldnt be the same today no money would have been pumped in to the city at all!! ceerrdiff the welsh scousers

  • lmao....

    merthyr tydfil

  • Cardiff is so nice ! I like it much more than London. I was in Cardiff in Juni, and had such a good time there. Wasn't this filmed in Queen Street?

  • i absolutely adore cardiff and the welsh. i lived there for 4 years of my life and now wish i can move back anyday. nice video, i think it covers most of the niceness of the city!!!!

  • I want to go to Cardiff now! :)

  • les croupier. yes boss! tenner on black!

  • not one mention of cardiff city...oh,but ofcourse cardiff blues is there....how is that a fair view on cardiff culture...the rest of it was good, just that one bit was bull.

  • i recon best city in fukin whole of uk luv it 2 good

  • I fukin love this city :D

  • Madonna is going to Cardiff for her Sticky and Sweet TOUR!

    Dont forget to buy your tickets!

  • what is going on here boyz. cut it out.

  • ernst closed his account maybe he got a job :)

  • from what i have read so far there are two people here who need a reality check . But i will have to admit there is a lot of slander which is not called for . Now put your toys away and leave them there

  • My family left Wales in 1622, I'am descendant of Sir David Mathew, Earl of Llandaff, Baron of Glamorgam. I wonder why some of in the family wanted to move away fom such a wonderful place, I guess to start a new life like so many did in the great migration.

  • Cardiff is a great place to live. Newport is also good. Don't rate Swansea really. Don't like it.

  • Good, cause if you don't like it fuck off and stop taking our money. You Cardiff twats have to have the best of both don't you?, you'll sit there and slag off the only tourist resort in Wales which makes any worthwhile money apart from Snowdon and then you want to take the money made by us from tourists in the summer and build yourself nice buildings out of it. Get real, and start funding Swansea perhaps if you did that it would'nt be the place that you so claim it is.

  • cardiff has a amazing art scene!

  • Nice video, but I don't really see how it promotes Cardiff as a 'City of Culture', more as a city of shopping and clubbing.

  • The people are sad they think they have some american shops there it is the best. The video can't make it look good even when they try.

  • finished my uni in cardiff, come on guys it was good vid for amature production team...well done ..make one about Iraq!! lol

  • Nice video...

  • cardiff born and bread. however i have been here in south australia for 6 years. Loved the vid it makes me miss home.

  • dude "bred" and not "bread"... Sorry...

  • wmc is the wales milenium centre down the bay. how coudlyou notuse it. its the opera hosue for gods sake.

  • "More shops than London" ??? what is she on?! That did make me lol!

    No one commented on the safety of Cardiff and the great Welsh atmosphere (especially when Wales wins!)

  • yet what about the wmc and sta davids hall. tut tut. dont jsut focus on bloddy clubs.

  • I don't know what the WMC is? We did have St David's Hall in the video but we removed it because it doesn't really apply to the 18-30 target audience. Also, it isn't an especially eye catching building.

  • You know what is an eye-catching building is that red one down by Cardiff Bay. Sorry, I can't tell you the name of it since I was just visiting, but that seemed to be a stand-out piece of architecture.

    And next to that is the Millenium Centre. Also a unique building.

  • Cardiff is the dogs danglers and you all know's it!

  • Learn to atleast spell something before you critisize it.

    frkin' tard!

  • Arrogant, prejudiced tw*t, let me guess, your English right TC77777777?

  • Cardiff rocks because I'm Back-east American penal colony scum Welsh and the Welsh are Welsh too and when we've driven you demonic Saxon scum back into the sea empaled on your own fat bitch opera singers' horns the world will be a better place you bloody perverse twisted calculating japanese English bastards with your American National Security Councils and cucumber san'itches!

  • I'm English and I made the video....

  • Well at least spell "Cardiff correctly" lol Your in the stone age ha ha

  • @TC77777777 Oh dear.

  • Fair play, Cardiff is an awesome city and definitely one of the more appealing in the UK. A young, vibrant feel to the place, a spacious city, a great civic centre, a trendy bay area, a beautiful castle along with a multitude of beautiful parks and loads of friendly people. Cardiff is well on its way to holding its own in Europe.
