Places To Visit Outside Newport

Head east on the M4 to Cardiff to visit the Welsh capital. With a thriving musical scene, hosting a large number of concerts each year, ranging from the classical through to modern pop, Cardiff is an increasingly popular destination. With a history spanning at least 6,000 years, the site of the modern city offers a lot to see and do. Walk up Garth Hill to see the Bronze Age burial sites, or walk the grounds and hallways of the magnificent Cardiff Castle.

Airport Car Hire

Newport is within driving distance of two different international airports: Cardiff Airport and Bristol Airport. Both travel gateways are hubs for commercial tourism and business, with many international visitors passing through the gates of one or the other. Enterprise offers vehicle hire pick-up and drop-off from both destinations. If you're visiting from further afield, grab your car rental as soon as you land, then drive into Newport to catch up with friends, reconnect with family, or simply get out and explore. You can drop off your rental vehicle if you plan on moving on via other means of transport, making for maximum convenience and once less thing you have to worry about while you're on a break.

Parking And Traffic Information In Newport

Compared to other large towns and cities, traffic in Newport is fairly manageable. You'll want to avoid peak traffic times if you don't want to get caught up in a jam, so try and keep off the roads between the hours of 3 PM and 6.30 PM and you'll miss the commuters. Likewise, you'll want to avoid the morning rush whenever possible. If you're planning on a busy morning, make sure you plan your departure for an early start. Newport also offers a good selection of parking spots throughout the city. Expect to pay the premium for pay-and-display passes in the city centre. Generally speaking, drivers will have to pay £2 for every 3 hours spent parking in one of these parking spots. Park Square multi-storey car park is another ideal destination for drivers looking for somewhere to offload their car for a few hours. If you're planning on leaving your car unattended for more than a day, look into long-stay parking. You can expect to pay £4.50 for a day long parking pass in the city.
