The Millennium Stadium is a major multi-purpose stadium in central Cardiff, Wales, opened in 1999 as a modern national venue. It is known for its large capacity and a retractable roof that enables events in varied weather.

The stadium is the home of the Wales national rugby team and regularly stages international sporting fixtures and large-scale concerts. Interior features include tiered seating around a natural turf pitch and corporate hospitality areas.

Built to provide a modern national venue for sport and entertainment, it replaced earlier facilities at the site and has hosted major tournaments and events since opening. The facility has also been known under a sponsorship name in recent years.

It sits in Cardiff city centre adjacent to Cardiff Castle and is within walking distance of the city’s transport hubs.

• Capacity and roof: Seating capacity is approximately 74,500 and the stadium has a fully retractable roof, allowing events in all weather conditions.
• Access and events: Guided stadium tours operate on selected days and match days; the venue hosts international rugby, football fixtures and major concerts.

The stadium (Principality / Millennium Stadium) sits in central Cardiff next to Cardiff Central railway station. From Cardiff Central it is an easy 5-10 minute walk (around 300-500 m) across Westgate Street to the stadium concourse.

By road the stadium is reached from the A4232 (Cardiff West Link) and city centre roads; on event days allow extra time for traffic and use public transport where possible.

• Book an official stadium tour in advance and check the stadium events calendar-tours are often suspended on match or event days and space is limited.
• Visit mid-morning on a non-event day when tours start to avoid school and coach groups that tend to arrive later; arriving early also gives better photo opportunities with fewer people.
• If you're attending a match, use Cardiff Central train or the city's public-transport network and arrive well before kick‑off to pass through security lines and controlled entry points.
