It says of Llandudno: “A Victorian favourite once billed as the ‘Queen of Welsh resorts’, Llandudno has kept much of the charm that made it so popular.
“The curving promenade framing Llandudno Bay, the aroma of fish and chips wafting in the air, pastel-coloured art deco houses lining the seafront and old-fashioned amusements on Llandudno Pier all combine to deliver a quintessential British seaside break.
“The town also serves as gateway to a wealth of natural attractions in Eryri National Park and water-based adventures in Colwyn Bay.
“And a stay in Llandudno can be combined with a trip to Conwy, across the river of the same name, which has a mighty castle and Britain’s smallest house.”
In January, National Geographic also published an article on Llandudno, describing it as “a vintage Welsh beachside resort with enduring appeal”.
It recommended visiting the Great Orme Tramway and Mines, eating at Dylan’s on East Parade, and staying at the Grade I listed 17th century house, Bodysgallen Hall.
