Getting to Cardiff City Stadium
Ninian Park is the closest station

City centre bus routes serve the stadium
Local bus services numbered 1, 2, 95 and 95A link Cardiff city centre and Cardiff Central Station area with stops close to the stadium on matchdays.
On-site car park is first come first served
The stadium has an on-site car park for matchdays that operates on a first come first served basis and accepts cash only, and it typically closes up to sixty minutes before kick off with no entry allowed after closure.
Sloper Road closes briefly after the final whistle
Sloper Road near the stadium is temporarily closed towards the end of matches and for a period after full time, meaning fans cannot travel along it towards Penarth Road during the closure, as enforced by South Wales Police.
No direct rail link from Cardiff Airport
Cardiff Airport has no train station on site, so travellers typically take a local bus or taxi to Rhoose station and then an onward Transport for Wales train to Cardiff Central before continuing to the stadium.
Limited accessible parking requires booking ahead
A limited number of accessible parking bays are available at the stadium for both home and away supporters, and these must be booked in advance through the club or visiting team rather than used on arrival.
