About this attraction

About Principality Stadium, Cardiff

The Principality Stadium (formerly the Millennium Stadium) is one of the UK's most prestigious sporting venues, located in the heart of Cardiff city centre. With a capacity of over 74,000, it serves as the spiritual home of Welsh rugby and hosts international rugby matches, particularly those involving Wales. The state-of-the-art facility opened in 1999 and features a fully retractable roof, allowing matches and events to proceed in all weather conditions.

Beyond rugby, the stadium hosts major concerts, festivals, and international sporting events including football finals and athletics meetings. Visitors can take guided stadium tours that explore the player tunnels, pitch-side seating areas, and the history of Welsh rugby. The venue is surrounded by excellent dining and shopping facilities, and is centrally located near other Cardiff attractions such as the Wales Millennium Centre and Cardiff Bay waterfront.

The stadium stands as a symbol of modern Welsh sporting achievement and remains one of the most recognisable landmarks in Wales. Its cultural significance extends beyond sport; it has become an integral part of Cardiff's identity and a must-visit destination for rugby enthusiasts and sports tourists alike.
