Preparing your trip to Swansea: advices & hints - things to do and to obey
1. Swansea is the wettest city in the country; it is raining here almost every day. Vacationers are sure to take an umbrella and warm clothes, as cool winds from Atlantic also come with rain.
2. The city is quite calm; the crime rate in comparison with other cities in Wales is relatively low. Central streets of Swansea are equipped with modern cameras and patrolled by police squads, so you could walk there without fear even in the evening.
3. Travelers, who travel the city by their own car or plan to rent it, have to be extremely cautious. The fact is that frequent thefts of items from the car remain one of the main problems of the city.
4. The main form of public transport is a bus. You can clarify existing routes and the bus schedule on the Quadrant station. Tickets can be purchased in special kiosks at bus stops or directly from the driver; in the latter case, the cost may be slightly higher.
6. Prices in local restaurants and cafes may seem quite high to budget travelers. Those who expect to save on food have to pay attention to numerous street cafes and gastropubs, where prices are more attractive than in restaurants.
7. Local residents treat foreign visitors in quite welcoming and friendly way. You can always ask them for help; police is also ready to show the way to a sought street or a point of interest.
Swansea got the status of the city in 1969. Prior to this it was a major industrial and port area. The city’s suburbs are rich in deposits of coal, copper and arsenic, zinc and tin. …
