Student city guide to Bangor
Book with confidence
If you don’t get the grades, can’t get a visa or are deferring your studies, don’t worry. You can still book with confidence when you book with iQ. T&Cs apply.
Bangor Cathedral is the city's most striking building, whose roots go back to the 6th century, while the High Street is reputedly Wales' longest. Bangor is also home to a BBC broadcasting centre and, of course, Bangor City FC.
Pontio Arts Centre hosts all sorts of theatre, music and dance events, bringing real vibrancy to the city's creative scene. Nearby attractions include epic Penrhyn Castle, set amongst beautiful grounds on the outskirts of the city.
