Get in
Wales has the same immigration and visa requirements as the rest of the UK. Virtually all
passengers travelling to the UK from outside Ireland, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man go
through systematic passport/identity card and selective customs checks carried out by the UK
Border Agency on arrival in the UK. Those who are already in the UK and enter Wales from
other parts of the UK do not need to clear passport control again.
EU, EEA and Swiss citizens do not require a visa, and can enter with either a valid national
identity card or passport. They have the right to reside and work in Wales (although some work
restrictions apply to Bulgarians and Romanians). Irish, Cypriot and Maltese citizens have
additional rights, including being able to vote in and stand in UK Parliamentary elections. For
more information of UK Immigration and visa requirements, see the UK's Home Office website
By plane
The main airport is Cardiff International Airport, located nine miles south of the city. This is
the only international airport in Wales, and is served by the following airlines. As from
(November 2011)
Seasonal: Antalya, Bodrum, Bourgas, Bridgetown, Corfu, Dalaman, Enfidha, Faro, Heraklion,
Ibiza, Kefalonia, Kos, Larnaca, Minorca, Palma de Mallorca, Reus, Rhodes, Zakynthos
There are regular bus services from Cardiff city center to the airport. Alternatively, you can also
get to the airport using a bus service from Barry Station, which is closer to the airport and on
local rail lines. In 2005, a nearby railway line was reopened, including a station at Rhoose, where
there are shuttle buses to the airport.
It could be easier to fly to an airport in England such as one of the London airports when visiting
South Wales, as a greater range of airlines and cities flown from are available from there to
destinations across the world, with services from many airlines. However London is over 2 hours
from Cardiff, and longer from many other places in Wales. Other cities served by international
airports in England which offer reasonable access to parts of Wales include Bristol (for south
Wales), Birmingham (for mid Wales), Liverpool and Manchester (for north Wales).
Another alternative for travelers to South Wales is to fly via Amsterdam or Dublin, since Cardiff
is well connected with both those hub airports.By car
South Wales enjoys good motorway connections with the rest of the UK
The M4 links London with Bristol, and via the Severn Bridge, Newport, Cardiff,
Swansea, and Carmarthen.
The M50 links the West Midlands with South Wales.
North Wales has no motorway connections. However there are still good road connections with
the rest of the UK
The A5, followed by the M54 after Shrewsbury, to London and the West Midlands takes
you through the spectacular Snowdonia National Park
The island of Anglesey is along the A55 road along the North Wales coast. If you are
approaching from the south try the A5 which is a scenic route that takes you through the
mountains of North Wales.
There are no internal border controls within Great Britain, though the two Severn Bridges
crossing the Bristol Channel charge a toll (£6 for a car currently) going into (but not out of)
Wales. This has lead some people to describe it as a "tax on entering Wales", both in jest and
also as a more serious antitoll campaign. You may not notice the border if entering Wales from
England via a minor road, however you will usually see the Croeso i Gymru sign crossing the
border.
By train
For those unused to the vagaries of the UK rail network, Wikitravel has a useful guide to Rail
travel in the UK.
South Wales
Main line rail services connect south Wales (especially Newport, Cardiff and Swansea) with all
parts of the UK, via Virgin Trains (to Birmingham and the North East, including Scotland),
Central Trains (to the Midlands), Arriva Trains Wales and First Great Western (to London
Paddington).
North WalesBarmouth Bridge carries the Cambrian Coast line across the beautiful Mawddach Estuary
The North Wales Coast Line links Manchester, Crewe and London (in England) with
the northern seaside resorts of Rhyl and Prestatyn, the city of Bangor, the isle of
Anglesey and the port of Holyhead. Through tickets to Dublin (Ireland) are available,
which include the ferry from Holyhead to Dun Laoghaire. Services are run by Arriva
(from Manchester) and Virgin Trains (from London and Crewe).
The Conwy Valley Line stretches from Llandudno Junction along the Conwy Valley via
Betws y Coed to Blaenau Ffestiniog, and connects with trains on both the North Wales
Coast line and the Ffestiniog Railway.
The beautiful Cambrian Coast Line runs from Shrewsbury (in England), across Mid
Wales through Machynlleth, and through the coastal towns of Tywyn and Barmouth,
through the south part of Snowdonia, Harlech and Porthmadog, and along the south coast
of the Lleyn Peninsula to Pwllheli.
The Borderlands Line runs between Shrewsbury, Wrexham and Bidston, linking various
Flintshire towns and villages with the Wirral, Shrewsbury and Wrexham. There are also
frequent direct services to Birmingham International station (for Birmingham Airport)
Mid Wales
Arriva Trains also run the famous Heart of Wales Line from Swansea to Shrewsbury
The Cambrian Line takes the same route as the Cambrian Coast Line as far as
Machynlleth, where it goes southwards along the coast through Borth to the university
town of Aberystwyth.
By bus
National Express and Megabus operate coach services around the UK including to and from
many parts of Wales.
By boat
