Millennium Stadium
The Millennium Stadium, Cardiff is the home of sport in Wales , and is possibly the
world’s most magnificent stadium. It has everything one wishes for when paying top
dollar for live sporting events. The seating is marvelous, location cannot be beaten,
accessibility is ideal and the supporters are second to none. When the stadium isn’t
hosting major sports matches or concerts you can take a tour of the 74,000 seater
stadium. Walk down the players' tunnel, try out the Queen’s seat in the Royal box
and discover how they removed the curse from the away-team changing rooms.
(Adults £5.50, children £3, book in advance)
