Car Rental Swansea

The Welsh city of Swansea sits near the Gower Peninsula, almost mid way between the capital at Cardiff and the cost of Pembrokesrental. As such it is a good location for touring the region using a car rental in Swansea Downtown. The nearest airport for Swansea is the international facility in Cardiff and this is conveniently located for travel to its neighbor to the west.

Cardiff is connected on the domestic air network to locations such as Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle and Glasgow. Its prime international service is to Amsterdam with the regional KLM – North West airlines operating to Amsterdam Schipol, which connects with New York, Chicago, Washington and Baltimore.

Much of this part of South Wales has been strongly associated tot the coal mining industry and although still active mines in operation it has declined quite steadily over the past decades. As a tourist attraction there are mine tours which can be reached having booked a cheap car rental in Swansea Downtown.

Another attraction here is the Maritime Museum which highlights the time when Swansea was a major trading port on the Severn Estuary. One of the world's most famous playwrights was born in Swansea and that was Dylan Thomas, so there is a museum dedicated to the work of this outstanding scribe.

To the west are some good beaches to found in the car rental in Swansea Downtown, such as those found at Tenby. For walkers the Gower is a magnet for those who enjoy the outdoor life. Closer to hand are the delights of Swansea Bay where there are sea activities and beaches which have been awarded five Blue Flags for environmental care.
