At first glance, Aberystwyth may seem reminiscent of the coastal towns of southern England: a pier with games and slot machines, luxury hotels with white facades along the promenade... But a longer visit gives a more singular and contrasting picture. You'll have time to notice, for example, that Welsh is spoken much more than in Cardiff. On the bus, in a restaurant or at a hotel reception desk, it's not uncommon to come across people starting and ending an English conversation in Welsh, as if through language it were above all a question of sharing a moment of complicity, a feeling of belonging to the same community. The oldest part of the city is lined with colorful facades of old buildings along narrow, steep streets. Located in the south-west of the city, behind the castle and above the old port, it boasts a number of small, pleasant places to dine or have a drink. A real personality can be felt in this part of town, which is also the student quarter. The fresh scent of the sea reaches the sidewalks, which are framed by two bays opening onto the open sea.Aberystwyth also boasts a friendly town museum, fine architecture, a fine arts museum and the majestic ruined castle, all of which bear witness to the historical and cultural stature of Aberystwyth, which is also home to the National Library of Wales!
