    Have a look at this page here:

    http://www.virtualtourist.com/travel/Europe/United_Kingdom/Wales/South_Glamorgan/Cardiff-315777/Warnings_or_Dangers-Cardiff-BR-1.html

    Four pages of people mostly complaining about drunks, druggies and antisocial behaviour on the streets of Cardiff. Granted I am one of them but there are a fair few others.

    You can also do a search for things like 'Cardiff drunks', 'Cardiff drugs', 'Cardiff violence' and 'Cardiff fight' on YouTube to find some shocking results. Oh and none of those are mine.

  • Okay BS - this is getting obsessive now.

    If you didn't like Cardiff, that's fine. It's not compulsory. ;)

    I can't access YouTube at work, but I'd bet my bottom dollar that replacing 'Cardiff' with almost any other UK city would throw up similar results.

    I have not seen or experienced the things you describe in 30 years of living and working in Cardiff. Every city has problem areas. Cardiff is far better than a lot of places I've been to.

    I really think you need to let this go now - you'll be happier for it.

    Sorry. The OP asked for advice on Cardiff so I gave my opinion. IMO they would be better spending their money somewhere else.

    Would also like to say that National Express do a coach from Victoria Coach station to Cardiff bus station for £1. I'll try and find a link.

    Edit: Sorry just checked and they have gone up to £10.
