Picturesque Swansea sits at the mouth of the River Tawe which, in the past, allowed the easy export of iron, coal and copper, causing Swansea to become a thriving trade centre, and enhanced the draw of global inhabitants, leading to the city now enjoying a vibrant and diverse culture. 

Part of the National Museum of Wales, the Waterfront Museum offers a fun, immersive adventure that all the family can enjoy. Celebrating Swansea’s own son, war poet Dylan Thomas , and the city’s maritime history, there’s always interesting exhibitions and displays. For more culture, head for the Tate affiliated Glynn Vivian Art Gallery, the Grand Theatre, or the Taliesin Arts Centre, with its programme of live events. 

Swansea’s Oxford Street rivals its twin, with designer stores and big-name brands lining the road, but if you prefer something more exclusively Welsh, head towards the many markets and arcades for a touch of boutique browsing (or shopping!).
