  • filter_dramaWhere
    Llandudno has the distinction of being the largest seaside resort in North Wales. It lies between two notable carboniferous headlands, the Great Orme and the Little Orme  with the Irish Sea on one side and the estuary of the River Conwy on the other with sunset views of Puffin Island. It is these headlands and the two waterfronts, the North Shore and the West Shore, that give Llandudno its special appeal.

    Although settlements have existed on the Great Orme since the Stone Age and an Iron Age hill fort survives at Pen-y-Dinas, Llandudno was developed as a seaside resort in the Victorian era. As such, it has a distinct Victorian charm - large Victorian houses, fine hotels lining the bay, Wales' longest free-standing pier, the original 'Punch and Judy' show, an excellent lifeboat service, an authentic Victorian-era funicular tram and a fine theatre with ballet, opera, orchestral concerts, ice shows and seasonal pantomime.

    The town has a prominent Welsh speaking community, greatly increased by the frequent visitors from rural communities further inland whose primary day-to-day language is Welsh. As a result of the recent emphasis placed on the language in Welsh schools, the majority of young people will have some proficiency.

    Llandudno must be one of the most commonly mispronounced place names in the British isles; both LAN-dudno and KLAN-dudno are incorrect. As a simple mnemonic for English speakers, in Welsh the double LL is pronounced as THL. The U is usually pronounced as an I as in did. So Llandudno is pronounced THLAN-didno[http://http://www.kc3.co.uk/~bicycle/sideways/welsh.html]. Even this 'happy medium' is technically incorrect, albeit the closest easily-pronounceable facsimile for those of an English mother-tongue. In fact, the Welsh LL is a letter unto itself with its own unique pronunciation. For aficionados keen to learn the true pronunciation; simply ask a local.

  • filter_dramaNight Life
    Though not on a par with the likes of Blackpool, Llandudno does have a vibrant nightlife scene with several popular bars and clubs. Busier in the summer months when tourists swell the ranks of revellers, a decent night out can be had in Llandudno all year round owing to the sizeable local crowd.

    Along with the obvious Friday and Saturday nights, Wednesday can also be busy with certain nightclubs offering popular reduced rates. Llandudno's 'trendier' bars can be found in the area of Upper Mostyn Street (the area around the junction of Mostyn Street and Gloddaeth Avenue, stretching up towards the Great Orme). For this guide, the town has been separated into various areas;

    Upper Mostyn Street area

    * Fountains - A popular bar offering a varied drinks menu. Quieter atmosphere in the upstairs section, live DJ in the basement.
    * Lilly's Bar - Good food, well-made cocktails. 
    * Club 147 - Popular on Friday and Saturday nights when '147' as it is commonly known transforms into a fully fledged nightclub. Also shows sports evens (but be warned; during international football or rugby matches, the crowd supports Wales and anybody but England (with tongue firmly in cheek!)
    * The Palladium - The flagship Welsh pub of the J.D. Wetherspoon chain set in a former cinema. A very impressive sight. Crowded and often rowdy on weekends. Known locally (and exclusively) as Wethers to the extent that some locals would not recognize its official name.
    *The Cottage Loaf - A stalwart of Llandudno nightlife for decades, the Loaf is located beside the rear entrance to the Palladium. Local beers, live music, quiz nights and a great atmosphere.
    *The King's Head - Situated beside the tram station. Offers a good variety of drinks, live music and quiz nights. Popular with young and mature crowds alike. Hosts outdoor local music evenings during the summer months. (Headstock) [http://http://www.kingsheadllandudno.co.uk/]
    *The Carlton - On the corner of Mostyn Street and Gloddaeth Avenue, the Carlton has been around for generations and serves very reasonably priced drinks, undercutting the prices of nearby Wetherspoons (The Palladium) in many cases.

    Mostyn Street

    *The Alexander - Known locally as the Alex, situated just off Mostyn Street at the junction of Clonmel Street.
    *The King's Arms - Old-world atmosphere and outdoor seating in the heart of Mostyn Street. Located close to Bog Island (officially North Western Gardens, but nobody in Llandudno will recognise that name).
    *The Town House - Attracting a more mature crowd, the Town House hosts frequent karaoke nights which go on into the small hours!

    Madoc Street

    *The Cross Keys - An ever-popular spot on Madoc Street, particularly with pub-quiz enthusiasts.
    *The Albert - Quiet pub well away from the buzz of Upper Mostyn Street.

    Promenade
    *Langtry's - Blackpool-style cabaret, comedy, dancing and other kitsch entertainment at Langtry's, located at the bottom of the Grand Hotel, ideally located on the Victorian Pier.

    As of May 2013, both of Llandudno's full-sized nightclubs (Broadway Boulevard and The Washington) have closed. In response, many of the venues in the town centre (particularly in Upper Mostyn Street) have extended their opening hours to accommodate late-night revellers. At the time of writing, Club 147 is Llandudno's only night club.
    • Gay Scene

      Llandudno could certainly be seen as a Gay-friendly town when it comes to nightlife. The bars in Upper Mostyn Street attract a decent crowd.

  • filter_dramaSleep
    Owing to its origins as a Victorian resort, Llandudno has a vast array of family run B&Bs (service consisting of a basic room with a generic cooked breakfast). Llandudno has a wide variety of hotels, ranging in size and quality.

  • filter_dramaStay safe
    Llandudno is considered safe by any standards, though as with any other tourist destination, it is easy to fall into a false sense of security about your own safety. Note that Llandudno is also a fully functioning medium sized town and is therefore subject to the same difficulties as any other town. Trouble associated with nightlife (drunkeness, anti social behaviour) is not uncommon. The Police take a robust response to incidents and maintain a visible presence on busy nights. Door staff can be strict and entry can be refused to pubs, bars and clubs.
  • filter_dramaRespect
    The massive annual influx of tourists is something that local people are used to. People from Llandudno are generally friendly, welcoming and appreciative of the economic boost that tourists bring to the town.

    One issue that can arise is during international football matches. Hoards of fans wearing England strips and filling out the pubs should remember that the Welsh will rarely share their support for the England team and will often (in the spirit of good fun) cheer on the opposing team... Even if it's Germany! Don't make an issue out of this, it is not meant to offend. Plus, you are in Wales after all!
  • filter_dramaGet out
    [wiki=be7e93d73fe1b431395317e8f4bc0c1b]Conwy[/wiki] - fantastic castle and walled town, just 5 miles away from Llandudno. Walk the town walls for free, many stairs leading up to them are throughout the town. 
    * A cycle path now exists between West Shore Llandudno and Conwy, very flat and car free. Also suitable for pedestrians. [http://www.cyclingnorthwales.co.uk/pages/nwles_co_cyw.htm#West%20Shore,%20Llandudno,%20to%20Conwy%20&%20Penmaenmawr]
    * A 'working' riverfront where you can find a riverfront pub for a drink and an ice cream stand that also sells hot drinks along with 'The smallest house in the UK'.
    * A sightseeing boat that takes a 30 minute ride up and down the Conwy River (runs mainly on school holidays).
    * Various independent shops in the town and various independent cafes (including the Tower Coffee House, built into one of the wall turrets, right across from the castle and giving great views of the river). 
    * If you'd like a free place to relax and maybe a read, Conwy Library also has great views of the river from its upper lounge. 
    * You can also take a walk from the river front, through the gate and find your way along a riverfront walk, at the bottom of Bodlondeb. The walk takes you around Bodlondeb, where you can make your way to Conwy Marina, where there is an upmarket pub with a large outside dining area overlooking the marina. 
    * There are many hill walks around Conwy as well (National Trust gift shop under Aberconwy House sells some maps, there's also an independent bookshop in the town).
    * Aberconwy House, 14th-century merchant's house run by the National Trust.
    * Plas Mawr (The Great Hall), one of the finest surviving town house of the Elizabethan era to be found in Britain, run by Cadw (who also run Conwy Castle, see about a joint ticket for both!).

    * [wiki=8deef1c8de3a5081bda7591c8c20867a]Colwyn Bay[/wiki] - New watersports facilities with free showers and toilets and NEW man-made permanent sandy beach.

    * [wiki=2074fbf44ff6179f59b43c491cc06b62]Chester[/wiki] - Roman walled city, 50 miles away (one hour by train).
