Sample Swansea’s Vibrant Culture

The great Welsh poet Dylan Thomas affectionately described his birthplace as an “ugly, lovely town”, but a lot has changed in the hundred years since he was born. The city – the second largest in Wales – was built on mining in the 19th Century and was once known as “Copperopolis” but in the last decade it has been invigorated by a host of regeneration schemes.

Now visitors can enjoy the new Dylan Thomas Centre, which brings to life his work in vivid fashion, the Swansea Museum and the National Waterfront Museum, the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery and the Environment Centre. There are a few traditional buildings that remain, including the remnants of Swansea castle, the Morriston Tabernacle nonconformist church and the Guildhall.
