With over 600 castles, unique cultural traditions anḍ dramatic coastline, it's shocking that only a small percentage of visitors to the United Kingdom set foot in Wales. Here's what to know for planning your trip to Wales.
Planning Your Trip
Best Time to Visit: Wales is at its best from the late spring through early summer. You can expect a fair bit of rain, but also beautiful flowers then. Wales's mild, damp climate means that there's only a small variation among temperatures throughout the year.

Getting Around:Wales is a tiny country--you can drive from Cardiff, along the Southern coast,to Angelsey, an island in the north, in about 4, 5 hours. Wales is also supported by an excellent network of cycling and rail connections.
