TRAVEL

As the iconic Cardiff Arms Park is in the heart of the Welsh capital, and right next to the Principality Stadium, there is no public parking available on site during match-days but we are well served by public transport.

We are located just a 10 minute walk from Cardiff Central train station and are on numerous major bus routes. The easiest way to find us is to spot the Principality Stadium and head towards it, from there, you can’t miss us!

If driving, there are countless public car parks within walking distance including Sophia Gardens, where we have preferential rates, an NPC directly opposite the ground and at the St David’s 2 shopping centre.

We also have safe storage facilities available for bicycles on both sides of the ground.
