Explore Swansea city centre with two self-guided heritage walks with a treasure hunt theme. Discover Swansea's "hidden treasures" whilst having a fun day out with family and friends!
Swansea is perfectly placed, at the point where the River Tawe meets the sweeping waterfront of Swansea Bay. As you make your way around its varied landscapes you'll be dazzled by its rich and beguiling cultural heritage – vibrant art galleries, modern and venerable museums, a diverse market, theatres, and numerous tributes to Swansea’s own Dylan Thomas. But Swansea looks forward as well as back, with large areas of developed waterfronts – a nimble river, the sparkling sea, and a lively marina with shops, cafés, bars and restaurants.
