Pontypridd attractions centre on Ynysangharad Park, Taff Street and the station — opening times on each operator's own site. Aberdare's square is a different day on the same taxi table; this town is not the coast.

The Old Bridge (1756, Grade I, single arch) over the Taff is the postcard. Pontypridd Museum (converted 1861 chapel) covers the town as birthplace of Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau (1856) and hometown of Tom Jones. Ynysangharad War Memorial Park holds Lido Ponty (National Lido of Wales) — book sessions; warm weekends sell out.
