Getting to the city
The fastest way into Cardiff varies with traffic and timetables: train, bus and taxi all link CWL with the city, so check live departures before you choose and leave a buffer. Avoid peak commuter hours where possible, confirm your return transfer when you book, and do not assume a last service will wait if your flight is late.
