Oh no, not another thread on the scum I hear you say.
Well no. This is about the city itself.
The people are friendly, the choice of stores, restaurants (especially), clothes shops etc. etc. etc. is fantastic.
A truly wonderful city.
There, I said it! |  |

They just haven't got many football fans, and getting less by the day. |  |

It is a nice place - good shoping with some interesting shops and not just the big department stores. Some nice restaurants, decent attractions, etc.
But so it should be given the amount of investment that has been funneled into there at the expense of other parts of the country. Not that we can really complain as Swansea probably receives more than its fair share. It's the smaller towns and villages that seem to be taking the hit (public service closures, out-migration of youngsters, etc). |  | | |

I think we're in a great position. Cardiff is easily accessible for the great retail and restaurant choices you mention, yet we live in a nicer area, with the likes of Mumbles and Gower on our doorstep and the Beacons a short drive away. Works for me. |  |

Aye, I was surprised to find London worthwhile to visit too, as I don't like West Ham.
The City isn't the football club mun. 'They' aren't our Capitol. As a Welshman I'm proud of Cardiff centre...I wish Swansea, Newport Carmarthen etc could get the investment to follow suit, but I don't begrudge what they've done with Cardiff, only that it has just stopped with Cardiff.
On a side note though, was there on Saturday and you don't have to go far for it to get very shabby. On the bus from Queen Street along Newport Road, the state of the properties made woodford road look like park lane. Fur coat and no knickers? |  |

Yes, Cardiff is a typical bustling and well developed English shopping centre. |  | | |

Totally agree with you but the city itself, not the outlying areas such as the valleys, dies have a higher socioeconomic population than Swansea which allows it to survive as a city centre.
Put the same amount of investment into Swansea and it would not be as great a success I'd wager.
Even before WAG, the arcades could sustain shops that wouldn't have lasted 5 minutes down here.
I'm with the poster who said Swansea is the place to live as its all within easy reach, whatever you want. | |

Dont go to Canton unless you have a kidney or spleen to donate.
Cardiff is full of overpriced hotels, soulless bars, poor extortionate car parking and an air of menace. Try walking down Cathedral Road, through the parks and Caroline Street without all your "spider" senses tingling. |  | | |

I suppose it depends on day / time but that can apply anywhere e.g. Wind St.
I think the variety of bars, restaurants are great ranging from indies to chains.
Can't fault it personally. | |

Decent City for a days shopping or a night out. Had some ridiculously cheap hotel deals there too.
Still prefer Swansea for real people/friendliness though by miles. | |

I'd definitely rather live here. Give me the beaches and cliffs of Gower, Mumbles and relatively easy access into Swansea any day over Cardiff, even if it is better for Christmas shopping. | | | |

Well sorry to say but i ve had to relocate there..just moved into the area because of my business which happens to be in the city centre. It is a nice city,prefer it over London or Birmingham anyday of the week and the bay is nice for entertainment. It s also good for big name acts in concert.
But Swansea certainly takes some beating..in some respects it has more to offer especially with the Gower etc.
Still think I m the only jack in the city sometimes...I m sure there must be others  |  |
