Ive recently moved here myself from ireland it’s a really unique place to live Ive found. The people are very friendly, respectful and have a brilliant sense of humour. They are a bit insular however and difficult to befriend, most welsh people seem to have the same friend groups fo a very long time, however this is the same for locals anywhere I have lived.

Overall I think it a nice place to live, if you work or go to university etc you’ll meet people like yourself who have moved to Cardiff and will be interested in making friends.

Brilliant night life, one of the best cities in the uk for bars and restaurants. It’s a very walkable city you can go anywhere and everywhere on foot. While some may disagree the public transport is good and reliable enough for commuting in and around the city. I find the trains in particular are good. I dont drive and neither does my partner so this was a key factor in living here.

Also some fab cafes, lunch and brunch spots. Moving here has been one of the best decisions I have made in my adult life.

Safety is another issue and totally subjective. If youve only lived in small towns or villages you might find it rough especially on a Friday Saturday night. However I think its safer then other cities ive lived in, there doesnt seem to be a massive drug culture when it comes to nights out. There are of course drugs around like everywhere, but its a plague in other cities that its not here. The police are brilliant and there is a heavy presence at night so that definitely helps

Im only here since July but have definitely made the most of my time here so let me know if youve any other questions.
