Hi, I'm ging to visit Cardiff in July, and I have some questions, any help isnhighly appreciated.

  • how safe is Cardiff? I'm gonna arrive at 11 p.m. and there is a 1 km to my Airbnb, is it safe to walk alone at night, or do you recommemd a taxi or something similar?
  • What's the best way to get around? I don't mind walking but would prefer something faster. Is there somewhere I can rent a bike for the week?
  • How predictable is the weather? Is it safe to pack according to the forecast?
  • I love trying local cuisine when travelling. Can you recommend any places to go to?
  • Can you recommand anything to visit besides the tourist attractions I can find online? I'm especially interested in Music, electronics/comouter stuff and History.
  • I assume everyone will understand english? Is it considered rude to just assume and just start speakimg english or should I ask if they speak english first?
  • Any other general tips you want to add?

It's not like Guinness though... Much, much nicer ( admittedly nicer than Guinness is a bit of a low bar, but let's take wins where we can after the 6 nations this year!)

Yes, fair, but Guinness is the most commonly known similar product.

Indeed...

The daughter says "it's not like Guinness in taste or style but it is in Culture" which is fair.

I can see that. I like her characterisation.
