Which city is the capital of Wales?

Understanding which city serves as Wales’s capital is about where the Welsh government and main national institutions are based. Cardiff is the capital and largest city of Wales, and it hosts the Welsh Parliament (the Senedd) and the Welsh Government in Cardiff Bay. That’s why it’s the correct choice. London is the capital of the United Kingdom, Belfast is the capital of Northern Ireland, and Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland, so they aren’t the capital of Wales.
