Swansea is a dynamic, picturesque city filled with independent eateries, vibrant nightlife, and so much culture to explore. You'll find so many top things to do around Swansea for students.
And if you’re staying in our Swansea student housing, you’ll be perfectly placed to soak up everything the city has to offer. For example:
The Mumbles
A figurative stone’s throw from the coast, the Mumbles is a postcard-worthy village in Swansea Bay.
Need a dopamine hit? Check out the authentic Victorian Pier for stunning ocean views. Feeling old-school? Test your mettle at The Amusements, a throwback arcade packed with coin slot and modern arcade machines. Seeking something sweet? Hit up the world-famous Forte’s ice cream parlour in Limeslide Bay. (Side effects may include satisfaction. And brain freeze.)
However you spend it, Mumbles is a delightful day out, easily accessible from your Swansea accommodation.
Wind Street
How do you follow up a day at the seaside? An evening of entertainment in the city, of course. And that means a trip to Wind Street, situated in the heart of Swansea and bursting with energetic bars and cosy restaurants.
If you’re craving pizza, visit the Peppermint Bar, where you’ll find freshly made pizzas and a staggering selection of cocktails. If you’re in the mood for live music, check out the No Sign Wine Bar, which boasts diverse performers and hearty British roast dinners (a.k.a. the golden combination.)
Weekend salvation can be found at the Uplands Diner, home to mouth-watering traditional fry ups and Brewstone, famed for fresh coffee, tasty lunches, and craft beers.
Swansea city centre
The second most populated city in Wales, Swansea offers a unique blend of coastal bliss and urban living, meaning you’ll always find something to suit your mood.
