Most visitors tend to head to this seaside city during the summer months of June, July and August when temperatures are promised to be at their highest. However, with the British summer renowned for being temperamental, visitors planning a trip here for its beautiful beach should not be deterred from opting for late spring or early autumn when footfall will be lower and the weather still pleasant. Don’t forget you can enjoy Swansea’s various museums, galleries and shops the whole year round, and with fantastic indoor activities such as swimming pools and go-karting you’ll be able to find something fun to do even on a rainy day.
Since Swansea is quite a small city, getting around the center itself is easily done on foot. For day trips to any of the numerous beaches, however, you may need to consider taking a bus or a taxi – there are frequent bus services to the Gower Peninsula as well as several taxi ranks located in the downtown area.
