The Arcades

Unfortunately for gamers, this isn't a treasure trove of repetitive-strain-injury-inducing cabinets. It is in fact the pride and joy of Cardiff folk. The Arcades, home to an array of little boutiques and charming cafés, are a great alternative to the run of the mill high street chains on Queen Street that most of us are bored silly with. Don't forget you've got four to choose from - The Castle, Morgan, High Street and Wyndham. Venture here when you want to escape the masses or just be alone with your thoughts, although your thoughts are fairly likely to turn to what it's going to be like to live a destitute life after the amount of money you've just spent.
