The official visitor guidance says a discount can be applied to pre-bookings (senedd.wales), making advance booking worth considering when the visit forms part of a longer Cardiff Bay day. Q-Park publishes stepped short-stay rates for Cardiff Bay: £2 up to one hour, £3.50 up to two hours, £5 up to three hours, £6.50 up to four hours and £8 up to six hours (q-park.co.uk). The Pierhead Street location keeps the final walk short, particularly for visitors heading straight to the public building rather than touring the wider waterfront. ## Parksy Spaces Around Cardiff Bay and Cardiff City Centre Parksy lists a priced space in CF10, 0.3 miles from the Senedd, at £4.50 an hour. A space at Rimini House in Cardiff Bay is 0.4 miles away and costs £8 an hour, while the secure space at Hansen Court is 0.6 miles away at £5 a day. These spaces spread the search beyond the immediate Pierhead Street car park and give drivers different combinations of distance, security and charging period. Show map of Butetown ## Busy Cardiff Bay Periods and Pierhead Street Parking Controls Cardiff Bay attracts visitors to the Senedd, the Wales Millennium Centre and Mermaid Quay, so parking demand can rise when several waterfront destinations are being visited together. The official Cardiff Bay parking map marks pay-and-display parking and voucher parking, as well as a security barrier and car parks around the waterfront (senedd.wales). Drivers approaching the site should distinguish public parking from controlled access areas shown on the official map. The map identifies Pierhead Street, the Wales Millennium Centre and Ty Hywel, which helps orientate visitors before turning into the waterfront roads (senedd.wales). Visit Cardiff names Mermaid Quay Car Park and Q-Park Cardiff Bay as the nearest parking choices, with Mermaid Quay listed under postcode CF10 5BS and Q-Park Cardiff Bay under CF10 4PH (visitcardiff.com). ## Mermaid Quay and Other Official Parking Choices by the Senedd Mermaid Quay Car Park is another named option for visitors, and Visit Cardiff lists it as one of the nearest car parks to the Senedd under postcode CF10 5BS (visitcardiff.com). Its position in the waterfront shopping and dining area makes it useful when parking needs to cover more than the building visit. Visit Cardiff also names Q-Park Cardiff Bay under postcode CF10 4PH as a nearby alternative (visitcardiff.com). The official Cardiff Bay parking map shows pay-and-display parking and voucher parking in the surrounding waterfront area, alongside labelled car parks and access points (senedd.wales). Use the map's marked facilities rather than treating every open-looking bay near the waterfront as general visitor parking. ## Cardiff Bay Station and the Walk to the Waterfront Building Cardiff Bay railway station is the nearest station, 0.3 miles from the Senedd and a six-minute walk away. The short connection makes rail a practical alternative to searching around Pierhead Street, particularly for a brief visit or a day combining the waterfront attractions. Cardiff Queen Street is also linked with Cardiff Bay, with services running every 12 minutes according to Visit Cardiff (visitcardiff.com). From Cardiff Bay station, the route brings visitors into the waterfront area near Pierhead Street, while the six-minute walk provides the relevant final-leg time for the building itself. Cardiff City Centre is close enough for visitors to combine the rail journey with a wider city-centre itinerary without moving a parked car.
