## Event-Day Parking at Cardiff Arms Park

The venue’s own guidance gives drivers a daily general car park in Cardiff city centre, with car parking priced at £12 all day or £8 half day (cardiffrugby.wales). The venue also offers bulk bookings and long-term parking passes (visitcardiff.com).

Cardiff RFC says parking at Cardiff Arms Park is limited on match days and identifies Westgate Street [NCP](https://www.parksy.com/blog/national-car-parks-ncp-united-kingdom-parking-review), opposite the Principality Stadium, as the nearest public car park (cardiffrfc.com).

## Parksy Spaces Within Walking Distance of the Venue

The closest priced Parksy option is a Holiday Inn Cardiff City driveway space, 170 yd away, at £4 a day. A second Holiday Inn Cardiff City Centre space is 179 yd away and costs £4.50 an hour, while another 24/7 space at the same distance and rate is available for drivers needing flexible access.

Lock Keepers Court has a 24/7 space 278 yd away at £6.63 an hour. A Mercure Holland House Cardiff space is 0.2 mi away and costs £5.40 an hour. The longer-stay option is a secure Stashbee space in CF10 2AF, 0.2 mi away, priced at £87 a month.

## Street Restrictions Around Cardiff Arms Park on Match Days

Westgate Street is the venue’s listed location, and Cardiff RFC describes the Arms Park as being in front of drivers arriving at the ground (cardiffrfc.com). Cardiff Rugby’s match-day guidance directs visitors towards public transport because public parking is unavailable on site during matches (cardiffrugby.wales).

Drivers should treat match-day access as an event-controlled journey rather than relying on ordinary city-centre parking habits. Cardiff RFC specifically directs visitors to Westgate Street NCP as the nearest public car park, opposite the Principality Stadium (cardiffrfc.com). The venue’s match-day guidance also says public transport serves the area well (cardiffrugby.wales), making a pre-booked off-site space or rail journey more practical than searching at the gate.

## Westgate Street NCP and Other Cardiff Parking Alternatives

Westgate Street NCP is the named public alternative closest to the ground, positioned opposite the Principality Stadium (cardiffrfc.com). NCP provides pre-booking information for its Cardiff car parks, allowing drivers to compare locations before setting off (ncp.co.uk).

The venue also publishes general parking rates of £11 all day or £7 half day for cars, with vans charged £15 all day or £12 half day (visitcardiff.com). Bulk bookings and long-term parking passes are available through the venue’s parking information (visitcardiff.com). These alternatives are useful when a match-day closure removes on-site public parking, while NCP pre-booking gives drivers a way to arrange a space before reaching central Cardiff.

## Cardiff Central and Walking Access to the Stadium

Cardiff Central railway station is the nearest station, 0.3 mi from Cardiff Arms Park, with a seven-minute walk to the venue. The station provides the most direct rail approach for visitors avoiding match-day driving and city-centre traffic.

Cardiff Queen Street railway station is approximately a 12-minute walk away, while Grangetown railway station is approximately an 18-minute walk away. Cardiff Rugby describes the ground as well served by public transport and says the venue is easily accessible from Cardiff Central railway station (cardiffrugby.wales; meetcardiff.com). The stadium address is Principality Stadium Gate 1, Castle, Cardiff, CF11 6AG.
