explore its natural beauty, discover the many things to do, and to enjoy a very warm welcome from locals. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt offers huge diversity with Cardiff in the south, three national parks, a beautiful, stunning landscape, lots of outdoor adventure activities like walking, cycling and more extreme ones like zipping,\u201d said von Weber. <\/p>\n<p>She also emphasised the fact that both English and Welsh are spoken here, making it a unique destination. \u201cAll of the signs are bilingual, and you just get a really strong sense that the tastes, the sounds and the locals that you&#8217;re in somewhere very, very different.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As well as a destination for thrill-seekers, von Weber says Wales is a great choice for those who prefer to \u201cslow down a bit, go off the beaten track, and discover somewhere new and different, and really get to know the locals and the communities\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>In 2027, more people will likely discover the country as it plays host to a stage of the Tour de France&#8217;s Grand D\u00e9part, which will run from Welshpool to Cardiff on 4 July. And It\u2019s not just professional cyclists who can get the most out of Wales\u2019 many bike trails. <\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-image widget--size-fullwidth widget--animation-fade-in widget--align-center\" data-ratio=\"0.5625\">\n<div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n<div class=\"widget__contents\">\n<figure class=\"widget__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"widgetImage__image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/98\/12\/75\/808x454_cmsv2_29127520-d55d-50b1-9e6b-a807c07a85b9-9981275.jpg\" alt=\"The red dragon at Cardiff Castle\"><figcaption class=\"widget__caption\"><span class=\"widget__captionWrap\"><span class=\"widget__captionText\">The red dragon at Cardiff Castle<\/span><span class=\"widget__captionCredit\">Korng Sok\/Unsplash<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cWe&#8217;re hugely excited to be able to showcase Wales as a world-class cycling destination, not only for those who love to do the Tour de France climbs,\u201d she said. \u201cWe have some beautiful, flat, easy off-road cycling routes that are really perfectly family-friendly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In fact, Wales is taking its hosting of the Tour de France so seriously that it\u2019s named 2027 as a \u201cYear of Cycling\u201d. <\/p>\n<p>The year-long programme will see a first-of-its-kind interactive mapping tool which showcases destinations, attractions and detours along Wales\u2019 cycling routes. <\/p>\n<p>Von Weber suggests combining a bike ride with a visit to one of the many castles or museums across Wales, or simply taking in stunning views and enjoying local food and drink, including favourites like Welsh rarebit \u2013 an elevated hot cheese sandwich \u2013 Cawl stew, or Welsh cakes, a sort of hybrid between a biscuit, a pancake, and a scone. <\/p>\n<p>Next year, Wales will also play host to the Senior Open, a professional men\u2019s golf tournament for players aged 50, which will be held at Royal Porthcawl Golf Club. <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Cardiff will be the temporary home of EuroGames, Europe\u2019s largest LGBTQ+ multi-sport event.

You can just wrap up warm and enjoy the open fires and pub atmosphere, and things like that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For those who like to be a little more active than merely bask in a low-key atmosphere, the Tau&#8217;i Valley Trail in Carmarthenshire, a 21km-long flat route, is a good bet. <\/p>\n<p>Surprisingly, there\u2019s also a significant Hollywood influence in Wrexham, near the English border. <\/p>\n<p>In 2021, actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney bought the town\u2019s football club, Wrexham AFC.<\/p>\n<p>The pair\u2019s takeover, three successive promotions and hit documentary series \u201cWelcome to Wrexham\u201d have attracted football fans keen to see the club\u2019s remarkable turnaround for themselves. <\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a new reason to visit, too. The Football Museum of Wales and Wrexham Museum opened in September, bringing together the story of Welsh football and the city\u2019s industrial and cultural heritage. Highlights include historic memorabilia, interactive displays and tributes to Welsh football legends.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>                                  Go to accessibility shortcuts<\/p>\n<div

These are the best and worst European cities for solo travellers<br \/>\n  <\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div class=\"articleBody\" data-key=\"articleBody\">Wales is still something of a \u201clesser-known destination\u201d, but there&#8217;s just \u201cso much appeal and an incredible history and diversity that we offer\u201d, says Lucy von Weber, the Head of Marketing for Visit Wales.Speaking to Euronews Travel at World Travel Market in London, she discussed how the country is keen to attract visitors to explore its natural beauty, discover the many things to do, and to enjoy a very warm welcome from locals. \u00a0\u201cIt offers huge diversity with Cardiff in the south, three national parks, a beautiful, stunning landscape, lots of outdoor adventure activities like walking, cycling and more extreme ones like zipping,\u201d said von Weber.\u00a0She also emphasised the fact that both English and Welsh are spoken here, making it a unique destination. \u201cAll of the signs are bilingual, and you just get a really strong sense that the tastes, the sounds and the locals that you&#8217;re in somewhere very, very different.\u201dAs well as a destination for thrill-seekers, von Weber says Wales is a great choice for those who prefer to \u201cslow down a bit, go off the beaten track, and discover somewhere new and different, and really get to know the locals and the communities\u201d.In 2027, more people will likely discover the country as it plays host to a stage of the Tour de France&#8217;s Grand D\u00e9part, which will run from Welshpool to Cardiff on 4 July. And It\u2019s not just professional cyclists who can get the most out of Wales\u2019 many bike trails.\u00a0\u201cWe&#8217;re hugely excited to be able to showcase Wales as a world-class cycling destination, not only for those who love to do the Tour de France climbs,\u201d she said. \u201cWe have some beautiful, flat, easy off-road cycling routes that are really perfectly family-friendly.\u201dIn fact, Wales is taking its hosting of the Tour de France so seriously that it\u2019s named 2027 as a \u201cYear of Cycling\u201d.\u00a0The year-long programme will see a first-of-its-kind interactive mapping tool which showcases destinations, attractions and detours along Wales\u2019 cycling routes.\u00a0Von Weber suggests combining a bike ride with a visit to one of the many castles or museums across Wales, or simply taking in stunning views and enjoying local food and drink, including favourites like Welsh rarebit \u2013 an elevated hot cheese sandwich \u2013 Cawl stew, or Welsh cakes, a sort of hybrid between a biscuit, a pancake, and a scone.\u00a0Next year, Wales will also play host to the Senior Open, a professional men\u2019s golf tournament for players aged 50, which will be held at Royal Porthcawl Golf Club.Meanwhile, Cardiff will be the temporary home of EuroGames, Europe\u2019s largest LGBTQ+ multi-sport event. It will mark the first time the games have been hosted in the UK.Despite much of Wales\u2019 largest events taking place in the summer months, the tourist board is hoping to attract more visitors throughout the year.\u00a0\u201cWe have the castles, the museums, the attractions that are available all year round,\u201d said von Weber.\u00a0\u201cYou can lean into all of the different seasons, from the daffodils in springtime, through to the bluebells in the woodlands in the summer, into the autumn colours and then in the winter, we&#8217;ve got great Christmas fairs and festivals that take place. You can just wrap up warm and enjoy the open fires and pub atmosphere, and things like that.\u201dFor those who like to be a little more active than merely bask in a low-key atmosphere, the Tau&#8217;i Valley Trail in Carmarthenshire, a 21km-long flat route, is a good bet.\u00a0Surprisingly, there\u2019s also a significant Hollywood influence in Wrexham, near the English border.\u00a0In 2021, actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney bought the town\u2019s football club, Wrexham AFC.The pair\u2019s takeover, three successive promotions and hit documentary series \u201cWelcome to Wrexham\u201d have attracted football fans keen to see the club\u2019s remarkable turnaround for themselves.\u00a0There\u2019s a new reason to visit, too. The Football Museum of Wales and Wrexham Museum opened in September, bringing together the story of Welsh football and the city\u2019s industrial and cultural heritage. Highlights include historic memorabilia, interactive displays and tributes to Welsh football legends.<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/2026\/11\/06\/cycling-castles-and-outdoor-adventures-wales-gears-up-for-a-busy-2027&#8243;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/98\/12\/75\/1200x675_cmsv2_0a90b35d-75df-5d67-b1dc-d714bffaeb5d-9981275.jpg&#8221;] No Comment Netherlands: Protesters storm Amsterdam data centre construction site Focus Baku puts intercultural dialogue and understanding in focus In partnership with Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Azerbaijan Europe News EU labels Spain, Italy, Greece and Cyprus &#8216;under migratory pressure&#8217; Health news Scientists develop first-ever \u201cbroad-spectrum\u201d bird flu jab using [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[226,36],"class_list":["post-2241804","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-international","tag-crawlmanager","tag-euronews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2241804","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2241804"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2241804\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2241804"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2241804"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2241804"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
