Swansea has it all – fantastic beaches, culture, nightlife, history and lots of very friendly people. A huge variety of restaurants and bars line the charming streets and you are guaranteed a fun time whatever you do.

Swansea Bay is a place of impressive contrasts – city and countryside, history mixed with contemporary, beautiful parkland and pounding surf. Swansea has Viking roots and a long, fascinating history. Home to innovative visitor attractions and renowned for its awesome nightlife, it’s a vibrant cultural centre and a regional shopping hub.

Just a stone’s throw away the fun seaside village of Mumbles offers galleries and boutiques, snug cafés and fine dining. To the west of Mumbles, the Gower Peninsula has miles of unspoilt coastline, award-winning golden beaches and lush, rolling countryside.

On the eastern edge of Swansea Bay, there’s the waterfall country of Afan and the Vale of Neath: a must-see for walkers and cyclists. These steep-sided, wooded valleys are home to world-class mountain-biking, stately country parks and the UK’s second-largest forest.

A sports tour to Swansea will live long in the memory.
