Swansea

Swansea, Wales is a surprisingly multi-cultural city, while still retaining, and showing, their pride in their own Welsh roots. There are a number of things to do in this animated city, both indoor and outdoor. Located on the edge of a five mile bay, Swansea is a prime spot for photographers. There are also many parks and gardens situated throughout the area.

As with the other towns of Wales, Swansea boasts a magnificent coastline with clean sand and clear blue water. Depending on your beach style, you can choose the crowds of locals and tourists or retire to a remote and sandy hideout. A world renowned, must-see site is the sunset at Worm's Head at Rhossili Bay, which promises a canvas of powerful colors.

To be a part of the industrial side of Wales, take some time at the Maritime Quarter, which interactively explains the growth of Wales in the areas of medicine, science, and manufacturing. For the traveler who wishes to leave the fast-paced modern world behind, visit Wales' largest indoor market to sample local delicacies, as well as Mumbles Resort to shop for regional pottery.
