Introducing Swansea (Abertawe)
Dylan Thomas called Swansea an ‘ugly, lovely town’, and that remains a fair description today. Wales’ second-largest city enjoys a stunning setting on the 5-mile sweep of Swansea Bay, but suffers from a less than stunning town centre, the result of unimaginative rebuilding after WWII bombing. But Swansea makes up for its visual shortcomings with a visceral charm that, if not able to out-dazzle more handsome places, can at least out-stare them.

In the National Waterfront Museum the city has one of the most exciting museum developments in Britain; it also has a superb Dylan Thomas Centre, a long seafront stretching down to the picturesque suburb of the Mumbles, and the glorious Gower Peninsula on its doorstep.
