Cardiff Bay, Waterfront district and bay in Cardiff, United Kingdom.
Cardiff Bay features a 200-hectare freshwater lake formed by the confluence of the Taff and Ely rivers at the southern edge of Cardiff.
The area transformed from the world's largest coal export port in the early 1900s to a modern waterfront district through major redevelopment in the 1980s.
The Welsh Parliament building stands in Cardiff Bay, constructed with wood and glass, representing contemporary Welsh governmental architecture.
Visitors can reach Cardiff Bay through multiple transportation options, including buses, trains, and a waterfront walking path connecting to Penarth.
The district maintains elements from 45 different nationalities that settled in the former Tiger Bay area, creating a multicultural neighborhood.
