The annual <\/span>Cardiff Half Marathon<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> which sees thousands of people come together and make their way through the streets of Cardiff starting from the Cardiff City Hall is a great example.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another annual event is the <\/span>Winter Wonderland<span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Christmas Market that is set up at the City Hall Park and at Cardiff City Centre. A family affair with rides, goodies, ice-skating and games. Many small scale business from Cardiff and other cities set up their shops at this fair.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>3. Green Spaces<\/h3>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_25412\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25412\" style=\"width: 625px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-25412 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/11\/City-Hall-Park-625x351.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"351\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-25412\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-25412 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/11\/City-Hall-Park-625x351.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"351\" \/><\/noscript> Cathays Park<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You\u2019ll \u00a0find a green patch in every direction you look in Cathays.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The famous Bute Park attached to Cardiff Castle, is perhaps the biggest one of them all. Located by the river Taff, Bute Park is made up of recreation grounds, an arboretum and flower gardens. At any given time of the day, city dwellers can be spotted at the park, enjoying a good time with their friends and family, indulging in aesthetic activities or working out.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>4.

Passing through Cathays via the beautiful Bute Park, the Taff trail stretches through Cardiff to the Brecon Beacons over 55miles. Portions of the trail run over old tram and railway lines and canal routes, making a large portion of the ride traffic free. The trail is also suitable for horse riding, with the range of urban and countryside scenery make for stunning views along the way.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>5.

Along with the student presence this is another major arm of the local economy, it also has the benefit of meaning there is quite a lot shopping to be had. St David\u2019s is one of the biggest and most popular shopping centers. Clothes, makeup, jewelry and various kinds of delicious food, you could almost spend your whole day there there is so much to do. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some other shops like House of Fraser or John Lewis have many brands that you may be looking for.
