Whether you’re into rugby or not, a visit to the stadium is a must. You'll walk in the footsteps of rugby legends as you visit key areas such as the players' tunnel, changing rooms and Ray Gravell's press conference room. What's more, passionate guides will take you back through the stadium's rich history, recounting fascinating facts and anecdotes. So don't hesitate to take part in one of their tours in English or Welsh, as the sites also offer other themed tours. It's best to book your place in advance, especially during busy periods.

The Stadium’s Roof

If you're feeling adventurous and fancy what seems like a good dose of adrenaline, try “the scale climb”, a thrilling opportunity to scale the roof of the stadium and enjoy breathtaking views of the Cardiff skyline as once at the top, you can enjoy a unique view of the pitch and the stadium. Be prepared, however, as you'll have to climb some 15 flights of stairs before reaching the top. What’s more, once you've reached it, you have a number of options: you can either congratulate yourself on the effort you've made, or go the extra mile. For an extra adrenaline rush, you can zip-line across the stadium's canopy and feel like you're flying. If that's not enough, the last option dares you to fall quickly back to earth. This fast option involves letting yourself drop from the roof. Something to make you thrilled about!

Sports and Concerts at the Stadium

If you love sport, you can soak up the stadium's vibrant atmosphere by attending one of its many events. As mentioned above, the stadium regularly hosts international competitions such as rugby matches, including Welsh Rugby Union, motor sport events and many more. It's a great way to get up close to your heroes, cheer them on and celebrate them.

Finally, thanks to its huge venue, the stadium has also played host to numerous international artists who have thrilled the walls with the sound of their music.
