Things to see and do Llandudno

A bus takes you around the monuments and places of interest in the towns of Llandudno and Conwy, but also around the surrounding area, to discover the beaches and mountains. Allow one hour for the entire route.

Clarification. Hourly departures from the Pier of Llandudno. You can get off at the stop of your choice to spend more time on a beach or in a museum, then get back on the next bus.
Reservations can be made online and are best made in the summer

Formed over 300 million years ago. Saint Tudno built the first cell of his monastery here in the ^6th century. And it was the Vikings who gave it its name, Orme: "worm" or "sea serpent", derived from Old Norse. But it was not until the late ^19th century that the rock really became a tourist destination.

Since then, a tramway has been built, as well as a cable car and a large modern complex (Summit Complex), with cafés, restaurants and stores at its summit. Unfortunately, this complex has greatly distorted the site.

But if you step away from the hustle and bustle, you'll discover a natural environment rich in history, stone circles and prehistoric remains. Another surprise awaits you at the summit: the herd of Angora goats with their long, curved horns.

By car. Just follow the Marine Drive road. 6 km from the pier; toll: £3.50 in summer from 9am to 8pm and in winter from 9am to 4pm.

Streetcar (www.greatormetramway.co.uk). Departs every 20 minutes from Victoria Station - Church Walks. Open from 10am to 6pm April to September, until 5pm in October. Return adult fare: £11.50, children aged 3 to 16: £8.65

In service since 1902, this tramway offers a pleasant ride through the city. You can admire Llandudno's oldest houses at your leisure. There's a stop at the tiny Half Way Station platform, from where passengers can either continue on foot or board the second streetcar to the top.

Great Orme Mines is an opportunity to visit a vast cave housing old copper mines already exploited by our prehistoric ancestors. The mines have been exploited for more than 1,000 years, and the legacy left by the miners is immense. Great Orme Mines is the only Bronze Age mine open to the public in Europe. The guided tour (45 minutes) takes you through a maze of underground galleries and the Visitor Centre explores the history and archaeology of the site. Exciting and informative.
