Blue Badge holders can park free of charge in those spaces (cardiff.ac.uk). The Tower Building is at 70 Park Place, Civic Centre, Cardiff, CF10 3AT, so these streets are the first places to consider for a short visit. The guide also points drivers towards several public car parks close to the university (museum.wales). The university pages identify the street parking and Blue Badge arrangement, while the nearby public alternatives below are more suitable when a permit is not available. ## Public Car Parks Around the Civic Centre This puts council and other public parking close to the campus rather than requiring a long journey into the wider city. The campus is north of Cardiff City Centre (accessable.co.uk), so parking in the central area can work well for visitors combining the Tower Building with other appointments, while students and staff may prefer a booked space for a regular journey. Show map of Cathays ## Busy Periods Around Park Place and Museum Avenue Parking is hardest when university activity is concentrated around the Civic Centre. Park Place and Museum Avenue have street parking for visitors and infrequent building users, while university car parks are extremely limited and permit controlled (cardiff.ac.uk; museum.wales). The Civic Centre also has pay-and-display parking, according to AccessAble (accessable.co.uk). These restrictions mean that event-day drivers should treat nearby public parking as the main fallback rather than expecting a university permit bay to be available. ## Parksy Spaces Near the Tower Building Parksy lists a daily driveway space near Hilton Cardiff in CF10 3ND, 0.3 mi away, at £4.80 a day, and a secure space in Cardiff CF24, also 0.3 mi away, at £30 a day. The first is a lower-cost fit for a full-day visit, while the second suits drivers who prioritise a secure space close to the campus. For shorter stays, Parksy lists a Richmond Road space in CF24, 0.4 mi away, at £6.50 an hour, and a Crwys Road space in Cardiff CF24, 0.4 mi away, at £4.50 an hour. Two secure 24/7 spaces are 0.5 mi away: one near the city centre at £4.50 an hour and one in a central Cardiff garage at £25 a day. Hourly spaces suit visitors, while daily spaces are more practical for students or staff spending a full day on campus. ## Walking From Cardiff's Railway Stations Cardiff Queen Street railway station is the nearest station to Cardiff University - Tower Building, at 0.7 mi and a 14-minute walk. The station is a practical option for students, staff and visitors arriving from across Cardiff, particularly when nearby parking is busy. Cardiff Central railway station is also within walking distance, taking approximately 18 minutes on foot. The Tower Building sits at 70 Park Place in the Civic Centre, near Cathays, so rail passengers can continue towards the university quarter after arriving in the city centre.
