Aberystwyth is full of character with a number of lovely cafes, the best bookshop in the world (Ystwyth Books), a copyright library, a steam railway to Devil's bridge, a breathtaking prom and so many other things.

This town used to be nice but these days the streets are absolutely filthy: full of vomit, rats and rubbish. The council does very little good and has left the jetty and broken benches in a state of disrepair for literally years. Judging by the dodgy BMWs and other signs around town, it's pretty clear that County Lines are now operating in the town via Birmingham. This is not good and the Police need to get a grip, but seeing as so many druggies swagger all over the place, I doubt this will happen any time soon. Cocktails in bars tend to be over priced rubbish, serving staff are clueless/ obnoxious (especially the man with snot all over his hands serving behind the bat at Athro Lounge), and the £2.50 cider cocktails at Ty Seidr make people vomit in the night. The shops are second rate and the town just feels scruffy and unloved. That's nothing compared to Saturday however, when the local antisemites take over with yet another of their protests, this time making their horrible display accusing the Jews of the Medieval blood libel of killing babies. Passing cars hoot their horn in support. Altogether this is a very hostile and un Christian town, which ridiculously prides itself on being "diverse and inclusive". We ran away and do not wish to return! Avoid.

I have not been to aberystwyth for a good meany years I love it the town was great it was nice and clean I definitely would like to go back there very friendly people 😊 aberystwyth was so easy to get around

We love Aberystwyth for it's variety, multiculturalism and proximity to the coast. There is loads to do, not just in the town but in the fantastic surrounding countryside. Always a pleasure to visit.

One of my favourite places. I wish I could visit more often. Arts Centre is amazing. Plenty of places to eat drink (Breakfast at Y Gornel is superb). Plenty of this to see and do as well as the surrounding area.

Lovely walk from the castle along the promenade, unfortunately like a lot of British seaside resorts, some of the buildings were very tired, and as it’s a university town again some very untidy properties advertised as student accommodation. Town offers good shopping opportunities, couldn’t really find many good restaurants though.
